So do the MXs for those domains point to this other spam filtering company,
not to you? And then they deliver the mail to you based on some nominated
hostname (i.e. not MXs)?

If so, DNS TTLs permitting, you'll want to permanently reject (deny) attempts
by others to send mail to those domains. In general, something like

  deny
    domains = somedomain.example.com
    hosts = !spamfilteringserver.example.net
    message = Relaying denied


placed appropriately in your RCPT ACL should do the trick. For more
information, read
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch40.html#SECTaclconditions ,
especially "domains = <domain list>" and "hosts = <host list>".
