Why so ?

Does it prevent OpenSMTPD from sending to the recipients it has
submitted already ?

It should fail the ones after 4.5.3 and mark them as tempfail
which will cause them to be retried a few seconds later while
the ones before the error will be submitted. Isn't that what
is happening ?

No, smtpd will always try to group and reuse connections,
