Yup, known, and only appeared there as a result of pushing constification
further through the code.  The data items should be readonly, and that
has always been the case.

But here

a const value is modified. One could copy the value, but at first sight i'd
rather drop the const here.

Ouch.  To do that you'd have to trace back the const to everywhere
and re-evaluate the semantic assumptions.  I suspect that's not viable,
and a copy really has to be done.

Volunteers welcome (as I keep saying).

Tempting. But i dislike diffs caused by formatting, and i dislike
manual formatting. So do you have a common formatting tool/config?

No; and (unfortunately) bits of the code having been developed by
different people have different styles.  I do regularise where I can
but it's a long struggle.

If you have a preferred tool, use src/exim.c as a template for
developing a config (and add the config to the codebase somewhere!)
