ehm, you have just found the perfect anti-spam recipe: deny (or drop)
all messages... to be precise all messages that have not been
accepted yet.
I do not know how a verify on its own is interpreted by exim, perhaps
it is included in the previous deny/accept/drop verb, but the deny
you have after it is simply an unconditional deny as it has no
conditions.
Also, use_sender does not apply to sender callout, which does always use <>.
