CRAM-MD5 is preferable, because it doesn't transmit plaintext
password. However, few relay servers seem to support it. Since you
are using the exim-tls package, Exim will use TLS encryption for
outgoing mail if the destination MTA supports and advertises it.
Again, not many relay servers do this (postman.arcor-online.net being
a rare exception).

The syntax would be right for a domain list, however, to quote the
Exim book on the domainlist router:
"The [domain] pattern is in the same format as one[!] item in a domain
list such as local_domains."
To specify multiple domains, repeat the routing rule:
route_list = t-online.de mail.example.com bydns_a \
lists.sourceforge.net mail.example.com bydns_a
But I would suggest another approach: Instead of specifying an ever
increasing list of domains in the main configuration file, use
looked-up routing rules. Replace the route_list option with:
search_type = lsearch
route_file = /path/to/routes.special
Then, create a file /path/to/routes.special with the following in it:
# Special routes for domains that block dialup hosts
t-online.de: mail.example.com bydns_a
lists.sourceforge.net: mail.example.com bydns_a
Reload Exim and you're done. Much easier to maintain IMHO.
