It that extra search that expensive? I think you will get more trouble with
undeliverable bounces and collateral spam than you will save by not verifying
the recipient.
If the set of valid recipients doesn't change too rapidly, perhaps you can
cache it in some other format that can be searched more cheaply?

Unfortunately Exim doesn't work that way. After Exim decides that the message
is to be accepted, but before acknowledging that fact to the sending host
with the final 250, the message is written to the spool so that it won't be
lost. *Then* Exim attempts the first delivery, finds that it failed, and
sends a bounce.
