domainlist secondary_mx = ! ${extract{2}{THE ABOVE}} : @mx_any/ignore=<;127.0.0.1;0.0.0.0

That's the simplest way -- use the @mx_any support already built into
Exim, exclude the primary.

The other way is to generate the highest priority MX per the above and
then use that in a ${filter ...} clause, to test that the items in a
dnsdb lookup do not match that value.

${filter{<\n ${lookup dnsdb{mx=$domain}}}{!eq{$item}{${if !eq{${reduce{<\n ${lookup dnsdb{mx=$domain}}}{70000 .}{${if <{${extract{1}{ }{$item}}}{${extract{1}{ }{$value}}}{$item}{$value}}}}}{70000 .}{${reduce{<\n ${lookup dnsdb{mx=$domain}}}{70000 .}{${if <{${extract{1}{ }{$item}}}{${extract{1}{ }{$value}}}{$item}{$value}}}}}fail}}}}

Note that the result of this is a list using newline as the separator.

Note that if you actually use this in production then you're crazy --
for one, if it's too complex to understand then it's too complex to
debug and for another it defers your logic into third-party DNS which
means there's probably a security hole in your set-up.

So if you use this and it breaks horribly and destroys your business, on
your head be it. All liability explicitly disavowed (without prejudice
to normal lack of liability for free advice on public mailing-lists).
