It will do this according to the retry rules you have.

Normally, yes. Or you could do the following:
# Put the backup MX domains in this file in this format:
# domain: remote_server_address1:remote_server_address2
domainlist backup_domains = lsearch;/etc/exim/backup_domains
...more config...
# Probably after some ACL checks over recipients and so on
# in the RCPT ACL:
deny domains = +filter_domains:+backup_domains
!verify =
recipient/callout=30s,defer_ok,no_cache,use_sender/no_details
accept domains = +backup_domains
...more config...
In the routers:
backup_domains:
driver = manualroute
domains = +backup_domains
transport = backup_domains_remote_smtp
route_list = $domain
${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/etc/exim/backup_domains}}
no_more
In the transports:
backup_domains_remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
Works for me!
