Since you already have a router with the logic built in, you can
simplify your ACL to:

acl_check_rcpt:

deny !verify = recipient
message = Invalid recipient

(probably with some stuff round it).

Exim will then try the router chain in the same way that it does for
deliveries. You can include and exclude routers from the verification
chain with the 'verify' router option.

As always, check current docs to make sure I'm not hallucinating.
