"require" is for ACLs, you're probably better off putting the
restriction on the router.

Conditions can be 'anded' together with the 'and' expansion condition,
${if and {{cond1}{cond2}}} so already having one isn't a problem, but
still that's unnecessary here.

Check The Exim Specification (spec.txt, or on the website in HMTL) for:
3.12. Router preconditions
and see that you can add "senders = ..." to the Router. So this is
where to apply the check, *not* with "require senders" in an ACL.

The bit to the right of the equals sign (=) is then an "address list";
if an item in the list is a filename, such as $HOME/.acceptlist, then:
10.3. File names in lists
is what applies.

Between 10.3, explaining how file names in lists are handled and
interpreted, and "10.19 Address lists", you have a complete syntax
description.
