Since people looking up the mail servers for domain-two.de won't know
about domain-one.de then yes, you will need to add an MX record for
domain-two.de. You could have both MX records pointing at the same
hostname however.

See "Don't obfuscate detail unless absolutely necessary" on
http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/MailingListEtiquette - it might make this
clearer.

Have you checked your Exim logs? Is anything reported? Are any errors
generated on the remote SMTP server? Is it reaching your local mail
server at all?
