Because Outlook (and most other MUAs AFAIK) don't send the message in
this case.

This is not really MTA related, exim just complains that one address
isn't deliverable and the client stops the transaction. You could
disable recipient verification for your own clients, so it will not
complain about undeliverable while the smtp dialog. Though will exim
complain about syntactical errors.
