The fallback_hosts option does not operate for a permanent rejection.

Those I can't account for, unless the permanent rejection for the host
was still in your hints database - in which case Exim assumes that
it would get the same response, and not even try. To test that,
remove the database file (or edit it with the exim_fixdb); see
