You are correct - thinking some more about it, all outside connections
would be connecting to the same FQDN. SNI would play no part in it.
Sorry for the confusion. It seems that using Exim as a front end
relaying to back-end servers seems to be the right solution.

That is also very true, and I have considered it. On balancing the
advantages and disadvantages of the setup, it will be a risk I will have
to accept. Or possibly end up with two of these cloud / front-end
servers setup as the 2 MX's for all domains.
