There's really no way I can think of to prevent Exim from at least
creating a spool file at least for a very short period of time.
However, one alternative would be to add a condition on your router
that says:
condition = ${if first_delivery}
The second time the message is processed, regardless of the retry
time, the router will pass and will presumably hit the end of your
list of routers and fail.
