Exim doesn't look up MX records unless a router requires it to.

I'm not sure what you are asking here. Is this something to do with
$self_hostname (which is defined only in directors that have been
activated from self=local in a router)?

Are you trying to implement "if routed to host A then actually do a
lookup to see which host really to send to"? Surely the right way to do
that is to point the MX record at the correct host? Maybe I'm missing
something here.
