Try option "host_find_failed = defer" for manualroute router.
Look at
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-the_manualroute_router.html
for description of this option.
However, you shoud understand that "solution" is bad, because situation
when DNS answers "no such host" is a serious configuration error
(don't mess is with DNS timeout, which should be a temporary error).
You have better to make address of your mail hub resolvable,
maybe by entry in local /etc/hosts.
