Re-read what I wrote.

You need to think about what defines a valid address, who or what is
responsible for creating the mail-folder and how to check this in Exim.
For instance, if something outside Exim should create the mail-folder,
then you can do:
require_files = /usr/local/mail/${domain}/${local_part}/Maildir/
on the Router, so only users who have a mail-folder will be valid and
you'll never accept mail to other users at your domains.

If the user registration process creates the directory, then look at this
check. Also, look into why you added the create_directory option to the
delivery transport -- you might wish to reconsider that.
