We have to use fetchmail in addition to SMTP on one of our MTAs.  The
great thing about Exim is that you can do weird things easily.  In a
perfect world, I'd use Postfix instead of Exim.

It doesn't make sense to use SA-Exim if fetchmail is the only means of
retrieving mail.  But if you would like to greylist SMTP connections
and also have to use fetchmail SA-Exim is a good choice.

Or is there another Greylisting solution for Exim (that greylists
after DATA)?  Debian's greylistd is no alternative since it is bug
ridden.
