Yes it is :)
Here's how I managed to solve it:

THROTTLED_SERVERS=relay1.romtelecom.net : relay2.romtelecom.net
[..]

# This router limits the messages per outbound MX conenction:
throttled_out2:
driver = dnslookup
domains = !+local_domains
condition = ${if forany{${lookup dnsdb{>:
mxh=$domain}}}{inlisti{$item}{THROTTLED_SERVERS}}}
transport = smtp_throttled
ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8
no_more

But I had to upgrade to exim 4.77 in order to get the "ïnlist" function.
Looks like there's no way to have two nested forany, as $item gets
rewritten.
And i had to define that macro THROTTLED_SERVERS, because the hostlist
below doesn't get expanded ?!:
hostlist throttled_servers=relay1.romtelecom.net : relay2.romtelecom.net
[..]
condition = ${if forany{${lookup dnsdb{>:
mxh=$domain}}}{inlisti{$item}{+throttled_servers}}}
