So you have no value that could be yielded. And, this is not the way
lsearch is supposed to be used ...

An    exim -d+lookup -bh SOME.IP.ADDR.ESS   session would be more 
useful. But you should check again with a more recent version of exim. 
The caching code was changed in 4.40, some maybe the problem is gone.


But after all, your usage of lsearch is wrong, lsearch is meant to be
used with key: value pairs, NOT with keys only. If you use a simple list
of email-addresses, you can simply use

addresslist local_addresses = /etc/exim/user_list.txt

Exim will do then just read the file line by line.
