Does
exim -bt -v sng
work? Verifying isn't quite the same as outgoing address testing. In
fact, that is precisely your problem:

You have those two directors in the wrong order. Because userforward has
"no_verify", it won't get looked at when verifying, which is why -bv
works. You want to do the checking for a list before checking for an
ordinary user.
