The default (I think) exim4.conf handles it slightly more elegantly:
dnslookup:
  driver = dnslookup
  domains = ! +local_delivery : ! +relay_to_domains
  transport = remote_smtp
  same_domain_copy_routing = yes
  ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8 : 192.168.0.0/16 :\
                        172.16.0.0/12 : 10.0.0.0/8 : 169.254.0.0/16
  no_more


then all you have to do is turn on verify = sender (not even callout) -
the domain will be unroutable.
