Then you don't only need separate spools, you also need to run exim as
separate users.

You have list of domains that a particular user owns. So, you list the
messages in the queue, pick out those messages which are addressed to
those domains and count them.

You have list of domains that a particular user owns. So, you list the
messages in the queue, pick out those messages which are addressed to
those domains and ask exim to deliver those messages.

You say, a better approach? Just some thoughts of the top of my had. I'm
not saying better, but at least different and IMHO *a lot* easier to
manage.
I'd try to deliver to the primary host first and if this fails, I'd
*deliver* the message in a local mailbox or maildir, which would belong
to a given user. That mailbox/maildir would be the spool. Then I'd have
a process that periodically tries to deliver messages in the
mailbox/maildir.
This setup I described gives you ability to enforce quota
(count+storage), count messages and deliver them.
