Going from the default configuration file, you just have to define all
the domains you want to relay mail for in a domainlist like this:

domainlist relay_to_domains = domain1.tld : domain2.tld


Then configure a smarthost so that any mail received by your exim server
will be sent to your main server:
So as your fist router in the routers section:

smarthost:
  driver = manualroute
  domains = +relay_to_domains
  transport = remote_smtp
  route_list = * my.primary.server.tld
  host_find_failed = defer
  same_domain_copy_routing = yes
  no_more
