There is at present no means of specifying exceptions to domain lists.
The only way you could implement this at present would be to maintain a
file of *included* domains. I realize this could well be much harder
than keeping a list of exceptions.
I have added an item to the Wish List to think about the possibility of
having "inverse" entries in domain lists.

There is no string expansion in domain lists.
There is one possible other approach to your problem. Think about it
from another angle. Have *no* domains in local_domains, but either
(a) Set the "self = local" option on your lookuphost router. Then any
domain that has its lowest MX record pointing to your host gets treated
as local.
or
(b) Set up a domainlist router like this as your first router
yoyo_domains:
driver = domainlist
self = local
domains = *.yoyo.org
except_domains = @lsearch;/list/of/exceptions
route_list = * localhost byname
