Yes. Suffixes and prefixes are defined only for those routers where you
set the options. So how can Exim know about them in an ACL?

In my mind, these affixes are router-specific. You don't want them
applying to remote addresses for example.

If you just want to check for suffixes, you can use something like

accept local_parts = ^.*-suffix

for example.
