Exim's view of 'reality' is determined entirely by the routers you
configure and the order in which you place them in the config file. If
you have a router that resolves a domain by DNS before one that
resolves the same domain as local, then behaviour will be as you
intend.

If you have a config derived from the one that came with your Exim
distribution, you may be able to make this happen by removing the
domain in question from the 'local_domains' domainlist. Otherwise you
need to adjust your routers by hand.
