I advise without "message", then error messages will be more specific.
For incoming mail (to local domains) to nonexistent users
a router should generate message like "Unknown user",
it'll be what sending MTA sees. Please post your such router.

Recipient callout for domains handled locally (for incoming mail)
makes no sense and is not performed, the "callout" is ignored.
"callout" in "verify=recipient" is for outging mail (to remote domains).
