We crafted our own LDAP lookup rather than using the ldapauth feature
(because we use a schema that differs from what ldapauth expects), and we
have a conditional part of the expansion which provides @example.com in the
case of a bare local part. (So our protection against empty address is a
little more complex as well.)

It should be possible to do much the same by complexifying your code a
little more, in the area of your mail=$quote_ldap:$2 clause. But it takes
me forever to get nested Exim conditionals right, and I'm not going to try
here.

mail=${if mumble}
etc.
