I think Ubuntu's environment is very similar to Debian, and for Debian
your configuration file is wrong: looks as 'domain.com' is local domain
but "exim -bt" shows that it's really not. The reason is a syntax error:
the dc_other_hostnames line should be written as

dc_other_hostnames='cmpr01 : domain.com'

Then, you should NOT put 'domain.com' into dc_relay_domains if you declare
it as local in dc_other_hostnames. Usage of non-qualified name as 'cmpr01'
should be avoided.

After correction you get mails locally delivered. As for the back route
to Exchange(s), the simplest way is to create additional alias for them,
say "exchange.domain.com" (configure DNS and Exchange together), and
forward filtered mail to <support@???>.
