Use a duplicate pair of routers/transports with the same conditions and
make the first one "unseen".
The specific details would depend on you configuration so you're best to
check out your config and read the manual around ..

How Exim receives and delivers mail

The unseen router condition

Apparently this method is called a shadow transport.

There is also the system filter method, but this is out dated.
