A lapsed LEI is rejected at this point.

You submit the report; DTCC Data Repository (Singapore) Pte Ltd, the prescribed Australian TR, validates the data and the LEI status; accepted records are forwarded to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
Where the LEI is checked
At submission — the TR validates that the LEI is Issued or Pending Transfer for the relevant fields.
Avoiding rejections
Keep the LEI current; a lapse is the most common cause of TR rejection.
