AJAX error handling for submit function in functions file

How can I reconfigure my JS so that code 400 will fire the error
function in the AJAX call?

The error callback in your $.ajax() setup will be fired if the server responded with a HTTP status header other than “OK” (code: 200), so via the PHP function which handles the AJAX request, just send a HTTP status header with the code 400 (“Bad Request”) when the $responseCode is 400.

And you can send it using wp_die():

add_action( 'wp_ajax_your-action', function(){
    ...
    $responseCode = curl_getinfo($mchAPI, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

    // Send a response and the HTTP status header.
    if ( '200' == $responseCode ) {
        echo 'Subscribed'; // success message/data

        wp_die(); // here the code defaults to 200
    } else {
        echo 'Not subscribed'; // error message/data

        wp_die( '', 400 );
    }
} );

Or use status_header() to send custom HTTP error message; i.e. other than the default Bad Request when the code is 400:

add_action( 'wp_ajax_your-action', function(){
    ...
    $responseCode = curl_getinfo($mchAPI, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

    // Send a response and the HTTP status header.
    if ( '200' == $responseCode ) {
        echo 'Subscribed'; // success message/data

        status_header( 200, 'OK' );
    } else {
        echo 'Not subscribed'; // error message/data

        status_header( 400, 'Custom HTTP Error' );
    }

    die(); // not wp_die()
} );
