I believe this is the correct answer and answers all the previous
questions you asked, except what to do about it.

My approach is to have a hardcoded list of senders in my Exim
configuration whose emails I will silently discard instead of
rejecting during the SMTP conversation, if a reject decision is
reached.

It's not a great solution since rejecting during the SMTP
conversation is the right thing to do in the general case, but
Debian mailing lists are open and tend to receive quite a bit more
spam than your average closed Mailman list.

Cheers,
Andy
