Yes, it will. This differs from what you said you wanted. Lets' start
again...
You can configure a router which handles simple virtual domains with a
variation on a standard alias file, like this:
virtual_aliases:
driver = redirect
domains = +virtual_domains
data = ${lookup {$localpart@$domain} lsearch {/etc/virtaliases}}
make a domainlist for the virtual domains like this:
domainlist virtual_domains domain1.com : domain2.com : domain3.com
Make sure your virtual domains are not listed as local domains as well.
And in the virtaliases file, put complete addresses on the LHS
eg
a@???: a
b@???: b
where a and b are local users. Bake until firm to the touch.

Exim will work any way you want it to - that's part of the problem coming to
it from another MTA. It's ultimately flexible, and there's not necessarily a
'right' way of doing anything. For example, a small modification to the
above router would allow a separate alias file for each virtual domain; you
can look things up in dbm files, SQL databases, LDAP, etc etc (yes, I
remember you're lookup-challenged....)
