... which monit version? The monit >= 4.6 should fix the problem:
CHANGELOG: --8<-- * Wait for complete SMTP server greeting in SMTP protocol test before sending QUIT to the server. Exim4 is sensible on the client-server synchronization and the protocol test failed because monit was faster then expected.
