What you want to do is to fail a local part that is a valid list name if
the sender is not subscribed. Is that right? Then why not do precisely
that by putting this before your list director:

check_closed_lists:
driver = smartuser
condition = ${if and {{local-part-is-a-list}{sender-is-bad}}{yes}{no}}
new_address = :fail: Sorry, you aren't allowed to post to this list

? (This needs Exim 3.10 or higher.)

I assume you have some means of writing the two tests since you need
them already.

Correct.

A way to achieve this is to have a following director with all the same
conditions *except* the conditions you are interested in, and make it a
"smartuser/fail" director like the one I have above.
