With the right type of lookup it will. Read about (n)wildlsearch in
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.66/doc/html/spec_html/ch09.html and about how
you can use regular expressions in lists without lookups in
http://www.no.exim.org/exim-html-4.66/doc/html/spec_html/ch10.html.

That's because with an ordinary lsearch, the key has to match exactly,
and "Hypnosis@???" != "Hypnosis". You don't magically get substring
matching.
