Losing as in, never arriving?  Anything in the mainlog showing the
remote mail server connecting, receiving a message or delivering it?

You haven't set up anything to tell it to read a .filter file.

I'd suggest a redirect router, adjust to suit:

filter_files:
  driver = redirect
  allow_filter
  no_verify
  file = /store/mail/$local_part/.filter

You'll need to specify the transports you want to use, depending on
what actions you wish to enable (file_transport, reply_transport,
pipe_transport).  There are some examples in the default config in
the source tarball for the three different transports.

Ensure that your .filter file meets the requirements in the
documentation so Exim knows how to parse it.  See section 22.3:
