I think you have to tell us what problem you're actually trying to solve.
Hopefully a simpler solution can be found. What is router2 doing there?
One thing you can use to simplify conditions, though, is address_data. If all
preconditions of a router are fulfilled, its address_data option is evaluated
and the result stays with the address even if the router declines. You might
also be able to use a redirect router with data = ${quote_local_part:
$local_part}@$domain and redirect_router = router3.

Nah, "pass" is a special outcome that only happens when a router was going to
accept an address but there is a temporary problem that the administrator has
decided should cause Exim to try some other kind of delivery. I don't think
it can be useful here. Perhaps a pass_on_decline or decline_router option
would be useful.
