So far so good.

This looks to me like it is being rejected in the ACL - at SMTP
time - before the router gets to deal with the address.
You probably need to accept *non-users* for this domain - in the
section beginning "acl_check_rcpt:".
This may be the problem area (from the default config, but you're
using linux, so goodness knows what the linux default is ;-):
accept domains = +local_domains
endpass
verify = recipient
The simple solution being to comment out the last two lines
(caveat: you will accept mail for non-users in that domain, even
those not on the old server). Alternatively, use callouts (where
exim asks the old mail server if the user is ok).
