You almost had it.

You can use an "accept" Router with "verify_only" on it, with
${readsocket}. Untested:

verify_against_my_funky_daemon:
driver = accept
verify_only
domains = +local_domains
condition = ${readsocket{/path/to/socket}{$local_part@$domain}}

The socket response should be 'yes' or some other Exim true value.

No transport required because it's only used for verification.

The documentation on the ${readsocket} expansion item explains the
tuning you can do; eg, changing response timeout.
