Well, the whole point of queue_smtp is to cause Exim to route a message
as soon as it arrives, but not to do the actual transport. If routing
requires a DNS lookup, then it is going to do it. If you don't want
this, use queue_remote instead.

Then use queue_remote and do your queue runs with -qq instead of -q.
