This is the default setup recommended by Amazon SES. I just added the
condition line below. When I remove the router's condition line below,
the router is being properly used for all the outgoing mails.

As I stated above, I have tried the same ACL on acl_smtp_data with the
same behavior, but thanks for this clarification, I'll now move this acl
to acl_smtp_data.

How can I debug this further? I tried to use exim -bh and I copied and
pasted a sample email message to the console. It looks like that acl
condition is always failing regardless of the from address. I added an
add_header line to the router that was being used to be sure
${domain:$h_From:} was returning the expected result, and it is.
