I see similar output for mx and dig. Try seeing what Exim is doing by
using -d and -bt. This is with 4.10:
$ exim -d -bt x@???
Exim version 4.10 uid=1169 gid=1169 pid=51 L=834cd8 D=fff7577f
...
lookuphost router called for x@???
domain = sagarika.aero.iisc.ernet.in
DNS lookup of sagarika.aero.iisc.ernet.in (MX) gave NO_DATA
returning DNS_NODATA
DNS lookup of sagarika.aero.iisc.ernet.in (AAAA) gave NO_DATA
returning DNS_NODATA
DNS lookup of sagarika.aero.iisc.ernet.in (A) succeeded
...
and Exim routes happily to the A record.
