    ^misses {

This blocks a host, not the sender, and the syntax is incorrect, use

If you want block based on hosts, use
deny message = rejected because of blabla
      hosts   = \
lsearch;/usr/exim/custom_blacklist/custom_blacklist/$domain

if you want to block by sender, use

deny message = rejected because of blabla
      senders = \
lsearch;/usr/exim/custom_blacklist/custom_blacklist/$domain

or

lsearch*@;/usr/exim/custom_blacklist/custom_blacklist/$domain
if you later want to allow lines like

*@domain.tld: blocked because X
