You have no list of "hosts" defined as +local_domains ... that is a
domainlist, not a hostlist.

This is defining a domainlist, not a hostlist so it works for domains
checks, but not hosts checks.

Above you are using +local_domains in domains... Not hosts.

You are mixing apples and oranges.
You can't define a domainlist and then use it as a hostlist.
Define a hostlist like:
hostlist exempt_lookup_hosts = /path_to_file/exempt-lookup-hosts
see the difference from what you are using:
domainlist local_domains = lsearch;/etc/virtual/domains
Now you can use..
deny message = $sender_host_address is listed at $dnslist_domain
hosts = !+lexempt_lookup_hosts
dnslists = list.dsbl.org : \
sbl.spamhaus.org : \
bl.spamcop.net : \
relays.ordb.org : \
korea.services.net : \
china.blackholes.us : \
russia.blackholes.us
