No, that isn't how it works. SMTP has no mechanism for redirecting
clients.

You must have broken something else in your configuration. Is Exim running
on port 25 from inetd? Or was it running as a listening daemon? In the
latter case it's likely that you haven't restarted the daemon properly.
You should run all you listening processes in the same way, to avoid
confusion.
This problem has nothing to do with cyrus_sasl.
