Are you positive that $home is set when ACLs are processed? It should
not be.
Try running exim with "-d+expand".
You can use ${lookup passwd{<username>}} and ${extract} home directory
from there and check the resulted value with ${match}.
Anyway, a simple router would to the trick just fine (provided that you
have a condition somewhere in your RCPT ACL that verifies local
recipients, "verify = recipient" that is). This router should be put
before the router that handles messages for alive users.
dead_user:
driver = redirect
check_local_user
condition = ${if match {$home}{^/dead/}{yes}{no}}
allow_fail
data = :fail: Sorry, this user is dead.
