Have we been told what your subscribed address is? I've assumed
that it's the one in the envelope-from of the post I'm replying to.
(I don't want to quote it.) Is that correct? Or maybe that …CII.eu one?

Why would you use a "subscribed.address" (presumably an email address)
for your HELO (presumably actually a EHLO). I was under the impression
that it should be a domain, ie a FQDN.

Have we observed that? I only had LDOSUBSCRIBER bestowed on me when my
envelope-from became the same as my subscribed address, which followed as
a consequence of my adopting the .corp domain name last year after seeing
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/02/12/icann_corp_home_mail_gtlds/
Until then, exim4 didn't seem able to rewrite my headers because I
didn't have a dot in my FQDN, only an unadorned hostname.
Cheers,
