I was wondering the same when I saw the instructions published by
mailbox.org last week:
They operate an exit relay, and suggest to use MapAddress statements and the exit notation to use heir exit for *.mailbox.org. I didn't see this previously, and they also don't explicitly enable exit notation, so I wondered if that actually works.
It works. You have to enable exit notation only, if you want to enter it in the URL bar of the browser. MapAddresses with exit notation defined in torrc are working with default settings.

Using the 'router <nickname>' in '.exit' or 'mapaddress' notation is nondeterministic... anyone can poof a relay with the same name....
Yes - you are right. I changed the German tutorials at https://support.mailbox.org/knowledge-base/articles/tor-service and replaced the name with fingerprint of the Tor node.
But have a look at Tor docs: https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en
For example, if you always want connections to www.example.com to exit via torserver (where torserver is the nickname of the server), use "MapAddress www.example.com www.example.com.torserver.exit".
It is not suggested, that fingerprints are possible and more secure. May be, somebody can update the Tor docs too.

Thank you for you advice to the discussion here. I closed the ticket because we can discuss it here directly and it is not required to include the first-level support of mailbox.org. I will do the recommended steps. I will try to learn... ;-)
