You typically use ACLs. ACLs are the difference between which addresses can be
routed and which are permitted.
You could also add a precondition to the localhost router:
condition = ${if !def:sender_host_address}
If by "externally routable" you mean that an address "exists" when mail is
submitted over SMTP, then this is the option for you.
Note that if you want to be able to send mail to local users over SMTP to
localhost, you need a more complicated condition.
