But using different smtp ports... or listening to different IP addresses?

Perhaps with a specific route for your local_domain in exim.conf, something=
 like:

local_route:
   driver =3D manualroute
   transport =3D remote_smtp
   route_list =3D \
        local_domain   exchange.mail.server

replace local_domain with the real domain, and exchange.mail.server with th=
e address and port (if different than smtp).

This rules has to go before the dnslookup one.

I haven't tested something like this, but the route_list is something I use=
 to avoid the bounced mails from some servers that don't like my dynamic IP=
 address.
