Yes. Callouts still catch a boatload of spam (and a semi legit mail from
time to time too)

That's not hard.
Look for SAteergrubecond in sa-exim.conf
You can do tests on the envelope or header sender domain, or
$sender_host_address which is the IP of the mail server sending you mail

That said, for mailing lists and so forth, I usually whitelist them in
/etc/spamassassin/local.cf as in:
more_spam_to            exim-users at exim.org
