Actually just tested from my local machine and I get this:

host:Estate-Manager marti$ telnet mail.mydomain.com 25
Trying M.Y.I.P...
Connected to mail.mydomain.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.mydomain.com ESMTP Exim 4.84_2 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 23:36:38 +0100

Hey

Restarted exim and I started getting this:

550 Unrouteable address


I guess I’ll keep monitoring but I think it might be fine although I don’t know why I was getting: 550 Unrouteable address in my logs before and it was still trying to send it back to the user of the spoofed domain:
