The expansion strings looks far too complex for me :) - I'd try to
"strace" the process to get information about what it is talking to the
courier socket. (If talking at all.) And I'd try, if "-d-all+lookup",
"-d-all+expand" or even "-d+all" provides you some more information about
what's going on.
swaks --pipe 'strace exim -bh 127.0.0.1' -au $user -ap $pass -q mail
swaks --pipe ' exim -d+expand -bh 127.0.0.1' -au $user -ap $pass -q mail
