Two of the lines above:

      domains = !the.special.domain
      condition = ${if >{$message_size}{500K}{yes}{no}}


Are fairly 'universal', i.e. can be adapted (size and/or domain,
domain-list change) and used anywhere after size can be
determined - though not before that point.

You do not have to wait for the delivery phase (router/transport
sets), may want to do this earlier, by 'deny' in an acl before
accepting the traffic.

Exim will log an easily-corrected error if you try the test too
soon.
