$ cat /etc/exim4/hubbed_hosts
realnechayev.zugschlus.de: nechayev.zugschlus.de
foo.zugschlus.de:               nechayev.zugschlus.de
domain1.longernameorganisation: 99.88.77.66:55.44.33.22
domain2.organisation:           99.88.77.66:55.44.33.22

$ exim -bt test at domain2.organisation
R: domain_literal for test at domain2.organisation
R: hubbed_hosts for domain2.organisation
test at domain2.organisation
  router = hubbed_hosts, transport = remote_smtp
  host 99.88.77.66 [99.88.77.66]
  host 55.44.33.22 [55.44.33.22]
$

I cannot reproduce this here, things just work fine.

Can you give debug output of exim -d -bt something at domain2.organisation?

Greetings
Marc
