Does your Exim have full DNS access? You put a "verify_only" router
right before the smarthost router, which gets "no_verify".

A smarthost takes everything, so you don't want it to be used for
recipient verification. Instead, use a normal dnslookup router, which
just isn't used for routing.

Last time I had such a system, I used this; there's a separate transport
for smarthost vs direct-to-mx because I did some port override and
authentication logic in the smarthost transport, and able to use a
different smarthost for some recipient domains.
