No. As you should have seen in the archives before you posted to the
list, there is strong resistance to the idea that Exim should retry
sending a mail (even to a different target) after being given a 5xx
refusal to a direct attempt.
If there was an unambiguous way to detect the _reason_ for the refusal,
perhaps this might be different. But there's not.
