Maybe SW is right in some way.

I did a test, with a exim 4.89, Debian 9 package.
The firewall of the target host just drops the packets, for ipv4 as well as for 
ipv6.

So, either the timestamps of the debug log are wrong (I didn't watch it

it looks like 130 seconds instead of 300 seconds, some OS imposed limit?
