You answered your own question - you should disable EXPN. It doesn't
break any RFCs. Disabled is the norm these days - it might even be the
default.

Actually, the two methods of obscurity are not interdependent - you can
leave EXPN enabled and hide the list members very easily. But safest to
turn both off.
