You can only check if your Exim can route the message with address
testing mode. Exim exits with an errorlevel > 0 if routing failed:

| [sanders@dot:~] % exim4 -bt blah
| blah@??? is undeliverable: Unrouteable address
| [1]    18808 exit 2     exim4 -bt blah
| 
| [sanders@dot:~] % exim4 -bt blah@???
| blah@??? is undeliverable: Cannot route to remote domain
| [1]    18812 exit 2     exim4 -bt blah@???
| 
| [sanders@dot:~] % exim4 -bt ssmeenk@???
| ssmeenk@???
|   router = remote_nobatv, transport = remote_smtp
|   host mx.freshdot.net [2001:7b8:3:47:2d0:b7ff:fe0e:1f31] MX=100
|   host mx.freshdot.net [213.154.229.18] MX=100
