The generic answer is: exim will try to forward the mail according the
retry rules (see 'begin retry' in the config file).
In a normal setup and without previous errors it will try immediatly and
then with defined and probably growing interval.
And the attempts are subject to invocations of the exim queue runner
process (interval defined by e.g. '-q 30m' if you start it as daemon) or
by some crontab entry starting exims queue run.
[ For avoiding getting mails for tons of non existent users on your
secondary MX you should give it information about your existing users.
So the secondary can verify the recpient at SMTP time already. Either
by giving it database access (but avoid single point of failure if you
want your secondary for availability) or by simply doing callouts to
your primary with defer_ok=10s. ]
