Can you change the logic in your first router to:
send_local_origin_to_smart_host:
driver = manualroute
route_list = * mta.york.ac.uk
condition = ${if eq{$sender_host_address}{}{yes}{no}}
transport = remote_smtp
The way you have it seems to want to generate a null route_data value if
the message is non-local, which looks wrong to me (but might not be!).
The way above should only trigger the router if the message is locally
submitted.
