Exim's view of 'reality' is determined entirely by the routers you configure and the order in which you place them in the config file. If you have a router that resolves a domain by DNS before one that resolves the same domain as local, then behaviour will be as you intend. If you have a config derived from the one that came with your Exim distribution, you may be able to make this happen by removing the domain in question from the 'local_domains' domainlist. Otherwise you need to adjust your routers by hand.
