Exim isn't sending a message, it is verifying an address when receiving
a message. I guess that your router has no_verify on it; this is common
on "catch all" routers, because without it, *any* address is verifyable.
This destroys the whole point of trying to verify addresses on incoming
mail.
You may need something more complicated: read up about verify_sender and
verify_recipient. You may want no_verify_recipient instead of no_verify.
Or you may want to disable recipient verification in your ACL.
