That's not what I'm seeing.

$ exim -bt foobar@???
foobar@???
  router = dnslookup, transport = remote_smtp
  host mx1.heesakkers.org [176.56.224.77]       MX=10
  host server5.ohos.nl    [2a01:7c8:aaaa:49::1] MX=20
  host server5.ohos.nl    [141.138.139.185]     MX=20

You appear to have used non-existant or local-only adresses, this makes it

$ host mx-both.jetmore.net
Host mx-both.jetmore.net not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

$ host mx-ipv4.jetmore.net
Host mx-ipv4.jetmore.net not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
