I'm afraid you are out of luck. The partial searches all expect to
search for keys of the form *.something. This has the property that you
can go right down to "*" on its own, and also that you can mix partial
and non-partial entries in the same file, which people certainly want to
do in some cases.
I guess what you really need is a "truncate" style of search, which
chops domains off the front of the subject until it finds a match, or
some kind of option for "partial" that makes Exim behave as if every
entry in the file had "*." on the front of it. Noted for a possible
future enhancement.
