I find it easier to consider what you want the router to do from first
principles, rather than get hung up on what the domainlists happen to be
called. This is clearly a case when you want the router to handle everything
except mail which is delivered locally. So a domainlist which defines what
is delivered locally is called for - you can use it negatively in this
router.

@ is a neat shortcut for the local host name. So the simplest domainlist to
use here would just contain '@' - meaning mail addressed to the local host.
Add any other locally-delivered domains to this list.
