I'm afraid it doesn't work like that. Named lists can't be concatenated
with anything else. (Well, except for user@+something in an address
list.)

Exactly. * can only be followed by a literal string.
I can't think of a way of doing what you seem to want to do, which, as I
understand it is:
Given a table in a database where one column contains a list of
partial domains, see if the current domain ends with one of those
domains.
At least, I can't see a way of making Exim do it. That is exactly the
sort of complicated query that I feel should be handled inside the
database query language. So you should be able to write an SQL query
that does it. I am not an SQL expert, but I think this should be
possible.
