The provided logs look incomplete. The reception of the RCPT command by 
the server-side is not in the log, only the generation of the response. 
Also much of the client-side activity is not in the logs.

Also, a raw log of the TCP protocol exchange between Dovecot and Exim 
and also between proxy and backend can be useful. If  the connections 
are plaintext you can use wireshark or - if not - you can use the 
Dovecot rawlog facilities.
