The first rule which matches, wins. See section 32.1 of the Exim spec
document:
"The rules are searched in order until one is found where the pattern,
error name, and sender list (if present) match the failing host or
address, the error that occurred, and the message's sender,
respectively."
So you need to swap them to get the behaviour you want. But in any case, you
should find the message stays in your queue (exim -bp) and is retried at
intervals. Does this not happen?
Try grepping your maillogs for the message ID.
Make sure you have a queue runner daemon (usually your smtp daemon does that
as well, if it's started by something like 'exim -bd -q30m')
