Thank you both for your input.
I got it working on the online server by editing the mail spool transport.
It was minimal config, which is nice.
## transport/30_exim4-config_mail_spool
# This transport is used for local delivery to user mailboxes in traditional
# BSD mailbox format.
#
mail_spool:
debug_print = "T: appendfile for $local_part@$domain"
driver = appendfile
file = /var/mail/$domain
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
group = mail
mode = 0660
mode_fail_narrower = false
use_bsmtp

How is the router/transport on the offline Exim different from the
router/transport on the online Exim ?
They should be about the same: the format is the format. I _suspect_
that you're not handling that Routers are an ordered list, and
online/offline is usually handled in distinct stages, including with
+local_domains references.
So the mechanics of creating the bSMTP is likely all present and you're
missing the preconditions or ordering to make sure this is actually
invoked. Probably.
