No. This item is in the WishList, in the section entitled "Things that
didn't make it into Exim 4":
. Specify a port along with a host in a route_list.
There's never been enough time/pressure to take it up.

Not if you use 3 different transports. You *can* specify a transport
along with each rule. This facility is hidden away in just one sentence:
the second sentence of 20.6, though there is also an example, the second
example in the 2nd last bullet in that chapter.
