Correct.

You're looking to do the inverse:
allow_domain_literals
And then you can set:
domainlist local_domains = myhost.example : [111.111.111.111]
or
domainlist local_domains = myhost.example : @[]
The second version causes all the IP addresses for your host to be
recognized in IP literal format. This is only accepting email in domain
literal format, mind you - if you want to send to addresses this way,
you'll have to set up a router to do so.
All of this is taken from the fine book on Exim4, pages 437-8. I didn't
have a chance to look at the online docs to see if it is there, but I
have found that most of the things in the dead tree version are in the
regular docs, so I would be surprised if it was missing. I just happen
to be a little old fashioned, and like reading books :)
Take care,
