Alternatively you can double the colon, or use a different list
separator:

route_list = !+local_domains mail.domain.com::1234

route_list = !+local_domains "<+ mail.domain.com:1234"

See

Phil's also right, but doing it this way means you can have multiple
route_list items on different ports which makes scaling slightly easier
than having to manage an ever-growing list of transports.

That said, if you put the route_list items into a file you can use
either or both techniques via a lookup :)
