Others have sugested the spf plan. But if you simply want to check the
DNS hostname, then add something like this to the ACL statement:

!hosts = *.google.com : *.yahoo.com

As I understand it, if your config is already doing DNS lookup for the
connecting IP, then the above line will not trigger an extra lookup, as
the data is already cached in the exim process.

If however you're not already doing DNS lookups, then the above line will
cause them to be done.
