Looks good, though the "group = mail" doesn't achieve anything, since
all this director is doing is changing envelope addresses.

Er, that doesn't look right. What you need is
virtual_user@???: local_user@local_machine
In other words, the alias file must contain whole addresses.
Now, if you want mail for *any* local part at the virtual domain to go
to a single address there are various ways you can do it. One might be
virtual:
driver = smartuser
domains = lsearch;/usr/local/etc/exim/alias.virtual
new_user = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/usr/local/etc/exim/alias.virtual}{$value}fail}
Or perhaps you want to specify certain local parts, and have a default
for the rest. In that case your original director can be used, but with
the search type set to lsearch*@ and an entry in the alias file of
*@virtualhost.com: <some address>
to cope with the default.

You can use an exim command with -d (or -d2, -d3 ... -d9) to get it to
show you how it is processing addresses. You don't actually need to send
a message, just try
exim -d2 -bt greg@virtualhost
for example.
