Apparently it's possible with documentation of onward travel, etc. like in China:

They also only collect the fee at EZE and AEP, so if one were to fly DL or AM to another South American country that doesn't charge a fee and then fly an AR route from that country to another Argentinian airport, you'd be free and clear. Not ideal if your goal is to get to a more remote part of Argentina by flying into EZE and connecting, but could make for an interesting award trip with a stopover in a different country and then maybe open jaw to get to Buenos Aires on a separate ticket or over land.
