That's showing you in which order exim is processing routers. The final
one is the one that's actually used.

That's not "seeing" a remote mailbox. You're asking exim "how would you
handle this message?" and it's telling you.

That server doesn't think the domain arr1.net is one it should handle

Yes, but if the mail server or MX records are incorrect, errors will
occur, as seems to be the case here.

Yes, either the MX records for arr1.net are incorrect, or
209.237.134.152 is misconfigured, or both. From the information you've
given us, I would conclude that _your_ exim installation is working
perfectly.
