As far as I know, you cannot specify a different port in a route list.
So, you'll need your own transport to deliver to a non-smtp port, and
it is probably easiest to have your own router which knows which
domain to handle.

While a setup like this is certainly suitable for testing, in a real
setup, I'd put the port number to deliver to in the directory as well,
and choose the transport in a string expansion.
