So 421 is implied for real server critical shut down reasons in 2821 compliant servers across the board.

However shutting down because it doesn't like a parameter on a NOOP command is to me a very clear violation of section 3.9 of RFC 2821 (section 3.8 in 2821bis):
   In particular, a server that closes connections in response to
   commands that are not understood is in violation of this
   specification.
