Exim should cope with this automatically. However, there can be problems
with sites in strange states, for example, with a wildcard MX that
points to a non-existent host.
Try running
exim -d8 -bt xxx@???
The debug output should show you the results of the DNS lookups that it
does.

The strict answer to that question is "nothing"! But I suspect that this
particular host has got something else in the DNS that is confusing
things. If you tell me the name of the host I can run my own tests...
