They shut down Mandrill as a standalone service at the end of April; it's now an addon to MailChimp service (i.e. they're doing the same sort of thing as other full ESPs do by providing transactional as an additional service, rather than competing with sendgrids and sparkposts of the world). Reading between the lines this seems to have been triggered by the abuse of mandrill, and (from my perspective) spam from there has pretty much vanished.
