If you mean DNS lookup, see the "dnsdb" lookup type.

MX records do not contain IP addresses. They contain host names. You
would have to lookup up the MX records (plural) and then the hosts' A or
AAAA records. This is not easy to do manually.
There is another Exim feature that might help. Take a look at the
translate_ip_address generic router option. At first sight, it looks as
though it will do what you want.
