I mean, is it possible to have that "<the matching word>" substituted with the exact word that matched one of the conditions (more or less the same way it is possible using Exim's System Filter)? I googled and searched a lot Dovecot documentation but wasn't able to find a definite YES or NO to this question.

You could make a separate rule for each of the words which should be blocked...
