That is not working, that is where you should be looking:
| --------> my_domains router <--------
| local_part=david.myers domain=exsportee.biz
| checking domains
| search_open: dsearch "/etc/exim4/virtual"
| [...]
| exsportee.biz in "dsearch;/etc/exim4/virtual"? yes (matched
| "dsearch;/etc/exim4/virtual")
That worked so far, the first router condition has worked, the domain
matched.
| search_open: lsearch "/etc/dovecot/users"
| search_find: file="/etc/dovecot/users"
| key="david.myers" partial=-1 affix=NULL starflags=0
| LRU list:
| :/etc/dovecot/users
| 4/etc/exim4/virtual
| End
| internal_search_find: file="/etc/dovecot/users"
| type=lsearch key="david.myers"
| file lookup required for david.myers
| in /etc/dovecot/users
| lookup failed
| david.myers in "passwd;david.myers : lsearch;/etc/dovecot/users"? no
| (end of list)
| my_domains router skipped: local_parts mismatch
However that test fails, the lookup returns the string
"passwd;david.myers" instead of "david.myers".

It is decribing what is happening. Due to the broken your routing setup
none of the "local" routers handles the message and it is being handled
by a router that searches for the MX and passes the message on there.
Exim realizes the the MX points back to itself and warns you about
that instead of generating a loop.
