use "exim -bt user@domain" to see what's happening (with -d to get more
output).

um, no. You didn't configure anything in your exim.conf for that? Then
how is exim supposed to know about your setup? You need to put up a new
router (and probably a new transport) where you tell exim how to handle
them.
You can use one of the virtualuser examples out there as a starting point.
