The packet I used is (smaller than 60). Since your ISP fixed their

I would strongly suspect that most professionally-managed MTAs
would kill that connection. Not waiting for the server response
is rather strong spam sign. A hobbyist system might want to
accept that kind of connection. ymmv. With recent versions of
sendmail refer to documentation on Local_greet_pause and
FEATURE(`greet_pause')
You may be correct. There are also a lot of unprofessionally-managed
MTAs, as well as older versions.
A standard-setup exim will indeed reject that (failure to adhere to
RFC-mandated SMTP synchronized conversation).
