This is difficult to do at SMTP time, since a single message could be
destined for multiple recipients and domains. For a exiscan way of
attempting this, see the exiscan ACL example file, example #6.

Your problem here is that $domain is not set in the DATA phase, only in
RCPT. You would need to move this check the RCPT ACL and set an ACL
variable to query in the DATA phase. Again, the document mentioned
above explains this.
