Only if it was actually blocked by your server, such as if the DATA
had been sent and was in excess of your limit. ESMTP is designed to
avoid this, as the ESMTP server tells the client its size limit in
response to EHLO.
What seems to have happened in your case is that the client
disconnected without attempting to send the message, which is the
proper thing to do.

If the connecting client was Postfix, and you control it, see the
bounce(5) man page. Of course you cannot modify bounces sent by
systems you do not control.
But in many cases you can customize the rejection seen by the
connecting client. See the SMTPD_ACCESS_README and access(5) for
details.
