A router's fallback host list overrides a transport's - this is
documented. However, an *unset* router fallback host list won't
override.

That is the correct solution. With the configuration you have, Exim has
done exactly what you told it to. It tried nt-opro-h0.gdmckee.home,
found it was down, so used the fallback host list you gave it. If you
don't want fallback hosts, don't specify them!
