1. You have missed the fact that by default, alias lookups use only the
local part, not the complete address. You need to set "include_domain"
on your aliasfile director if you want it to lookup
"muuh@???" instead of just "muuh".
2. Using aliasfile with a transport is no longer recommended, as it is
confusing. This kind of usage won't be available in Exim 4, so using
another way is more future-proof.

3. Lots of ways. How about:
arbitrary user:
driver = smartuser
condition = ${lookup{$local_part@$domain}lsearch{/etc/a.aliases}{yes}{no}}
transport = vdom_delivery
