Okay, so you've rewritten the recipient in another Router which you
haven't shown us. Two of the SMTP RCPT recipients have been rewritten
to the same SMTP recipient, and Exim is not delivering twice to the
*same* recipient, as routed.

This is a very different problem to the one described.

Your catchall is causing you to only try to deliver one copy.

Instead of using a catchall "redirect" router, use a catchall "accept"
router, which stores the mail in the catchall folder directly, but
routed for the original address.
