Exim seems to be OK.

It skips routers or declines until

Which it obtained by looking up in the file. So it goes on to route
that.

It starts at the virtuals_part2 router because of the setting of
redirect_router.

There is no key in your file for dans@???, so the router
fails.

(Contrast this with j2@???, which generages "j2@???", so in
this case the lookup succeeds.)

The automatic conversion of your configuration hasn't been clever enough
to get this one right.

The best plan would be to figure out exactly what you want to happen,
and then re-organize the routers by hand to achieve it.
