It can be a PTR, an A/AAAA, an MX, doesn't matter to me. I just want a
connection coming in to resolve to *something*. If it's just a bare IP
that doesn't resolve to anything at all then I'll reject that.
Everything else I'll take care of with other rules.

Because according to the documentation that variable is set if it's
more than just no rDNS but also a mismatch with a forward DNS query.
Unless I'm misreading the below documentation this is not what I'm
asking for.
IMO, the main problem with built-in exim's PTR check is, that it does
full FCrDNS, thus both of $host_lookup_deferred & $host_lookup_failed
can refer to DNS problem with both, the PTR or A/AAAA lookup, without
distinguishing them.
If one is interested in PTR only, (s)he need to do DNS lookup by self:
${lookup
dnsdb{defer_never,retrans_1s,retry_2,ptr=$sender_host_address}}
Set that into $acl_c_... variable and then check if variable is empty...
