AFAIK it's legal. See [1]. You can send an error when message is too big or 
when a line is too long and this necessarily happen before all data are sent. 
Hence there is no problem on dspam part except that the error message should 
be different.

I'm thus changing the bug title and severity. Feel free to duplicate it to 
exim if you think there is a bug in exim (either because it doesn't handle the 
error correctly at all or because only default configuration doesn't handle 
it).
