I understood this to mean "any of the -Mx options", which would include
-Mrm and -Mg as well as the pushing ones.

The concept of "outstanding for a site" is not well-defined in Exim. You
can push all messages with an address outstanding for a given *domain* by
using -R.
Provided it previously did the routing, Exim should automatically push all
outstanding for a *host* when it makes a successful delivery to that
host. Such deliveries are identified in the log file by an * after the
IP address, e.g., from today's log here:
1997-10-16 10:36:44 0xLlST-0005o1-00 => xxxxxx@???
R=lookuphost T=smtp H=muwayb.ucs.unimelb.EDU.AU [128.250.20.7]
1997-10-16 10:36:48 0xLlSA-0005nE-00 => xxxxxxxxxxxxxx@???
R=lookuphost T=smtp H=muwayb.ucs.unimelb.EDU.AU [128.250.20.7]*
Note the second of these has a smaller id number, so it must have arrived
some time ago and failed to get delivered earlier.
