The ABNF says:
Reply-line = Reply-code [ SP text ] CRLF
it does not say:
Reply-line = Reply-code [ SP | "-" text ] CRLF
nor does it say:
Reply-line = Reply-code
The RFC says:
Formally, a reply is defined to be the sequence: a
three-digit code, <SP>, one line of text, and <CRLF>, or a multiline
reply (as defined in section 4.2.1).
The ABNF you are quoting describes only a non-multiline reply. Multiline
replies are defined in section 4.2.1.
