The only way that will work is if

(a) You set "allow_filter"
(b) The result of expanding "data" is a filter program which includes a
    "reply" command.

Aha! If you want to put all the data (from, to, subject, etc.) on the
transport configuration, then you should use an accept router, not a
redirect router. Like this:

user_autoreply:
driver = accept
local_parts = lsearch;/etc/exim/autoreply
transport = user_autoreply
user = ????

You need the "user" setting either on the router or the transport to
specify the uid for running the transport.

That's what I've just described.
