Not having access to your logs, your data files and your filesystem -
no idea. Try running exim -d -bt <address> and see if any clues
emerge.

Because no delivery has triggered that router.

Your definition of 'work' ? Since the router is never being triggered,
I suggest you don't know anything about the transport yet.

No.
Now, looking at your router:

You seem to have got over-enthusiastic with string expansion here. The
example in Chapter 47.7 of the Exim docs shows this:
> data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/mail/virtual/$domain}}
Did you try that pattern?
And you probably don't need 'check_local_user' there - that's saying
'this virtual domain address must also be a system user' which is
unlikely to be useful.
