It doesn't look like it to me.

That's a very interesting conclusion, but it's not what I'm seeing.

First, I'm just ignoring the "after pipelined sending data block" part,
because I don't know what that means.

The clearest part is "<root@histomat.net>: Sender address rejected".
That sounds very much like it rejected the message specifically because
it didn't like the sender address.  The "not owned by user...." part
is supporting detail.  There's nothing here to indicate that it inspected
the body in order to make its rejection decision.

So, what I'm seeing here:

1) The "Reporting-MTA: dns; lenin.histomat.net" tells us which MTA is
   actually writing this error message.

2) "survey@popcon.devuan.org" is the intended recipient address.

3) "host mail.guardedhost.com [216.239.133.245]" is the remote host the
   MTA was talking to when the error occurred.

4) The "SMTP error ..." line is gibberish to me, except that it tells us
   that the remote mail server (the smarthost) is who generated the error.

5) The two lines starting with "553 5.7.1 ..." were generated by the
   smarthost, and reported here by the local MTA.

As I've said, I don't use exim myself, so I might be mistaken about some
or all of these conclusions.  But that's my interpretation.
