I'm not sure that I follow why. What's the problem with just listening
on both ports, for all addresses?

Run two copies of Exim, one with "-oX 4000 -bd" instead of "-bd".
What does restricting which IPs can reach which MTA get you, or does the
ISP scan for daemons? If it gets you anything (or the ISP scans) then
perhaps it's easiest to just use packet-filtering at the network level?
If not ... is 192.168.0.1 on the same network interface as the ISP link?
If they're on different interfaces, use local_interfaces to specify
which interface each daemon should listen on.
If you're set on doing per-host decisions within Exim and don't mind
that a TCP connection will be accepted before being dropped, then use
host_reject.
For either of the last two options, this can be done either with two
config files or a macro and a -D command-line override.
