Accepting mail for non-local domains would be relaying - which is not
quite the thing you want to do, or did I miss something?

You can either set up alias files per domain or specify aliases with
host/domain names in one single file. Those aliases can either point to a
local user, another emailaddress or a file.

Ok, what you want is be able to put initials@??? append to
/var/mail/targum1 but route (for example) all other mail for *@targum.de
to another file/address, right?
There are several ways to do that depending on the addresses you want to
treat in a different way before reaching that "second director".
For addresses that match no common pattern alias file(s) should work, for
other situations a smartuser may the "smarter" decision :)
In a probably similar environment, my config ends like this:
[..]
postmaster:
driver = smartuser
local_parts = "root:abuse:postmaster:daemon:watchdog:exim:pop"
new_address = big_brother@???
virtual:
driver = aliasfile
group = mail
domains = partial-lsearch;/etc/mail/LD-list
no_more
file = "${lookup {$domain} partial-lsearch \
{/etc/mail/LD-list} {$value} fail}"
search_type = lsearch*
[..]
Where LD-list holds simple entries like:
[..]
*.vdoma.in1: /etc/mail/vdomain1
[..]

Why should that work? There are MX-records pointing to your host and you
have your MTA configured what mail to accept as local and/or to relay (if
ever). And, what is most, if you process mails for certain domains those
domains ARE local, so why don't you want to set them as local?
