I can apply it with this cosmetic change:

However I wonder whether it wouldn't be simpler to merge 3 and 4
again, using this router:

--8x-----------------
uucpsite:
  debug_print = "R: uucpsite for $local_part@$domain"
  driver=accept
  require_files = +/usr/bin/uux
  domains = !+local_domains : wildlsearch;/etc/exim4/uucp
  transport = rsmtp
--8x-----------------

and advising to use
* smart.host
in /etc/exim4/uucp for smarthost setups is not easier than requiring
to search for $domain_data and replace it with the hostname.[1]

Be aware that this is just me wondering/suggesting/asking, this is
*your* call. - If you think the other way is better it is done.

[1] I have not tested this at all, I might have a fundamental
misconception about "*" and wildlsearch.
