(1) What output do you get if you do exactly the same thing, but instead
of telnet, use exim -bh? It should show you what things it is testing.
If -bh shows the correct behaviour, and telnet does not, then the only
thing do to is to kill off the Exim daemon you are telnetting to, and
restart it with

exim -d9 -bd

so that it will produce debugging output, and again you can see why it
isn't doing the tests you expect.

(2) Is your Exim configuration of routers just the standard lookuphost?
If not, maybe something you have added is causing this.

(3) Does an independent DNS lookup of asdfasdf.com on your host
correctly say "no such domain" for both MX and A records?
