I've lost the original plot here, I'm afraid. Were you trying to send
everything from one host to a replacement? If so, the simple router

forward_all:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * other.host.name.or.ip byname

would do it, BUT of course this is "relaying", so you have to permit
your host to relay for the domains involved. You need to set

local_domains =

to cancel all local domains, and then have

relay_domains = the domains that were originally local

That will allow Exim to accept those domains for relaying.
