Jan 29, 2015 at 18:04 comment added Karol Szumiło You are right, that's my bad. I have missed a step, but I have edited my answer to fix it.

Jan 29, 2015 at 17:16 comment added COhrt Then I don't understand how in your first step it is enough to only show that $Ex^\infty f$ admits a lift in the squares factorizing through $X$ and $Y$ to show that it is a weak equivalences. Wouldn't we have to show that $\Ex^\infty f$ admits a lift in all squares involving $\partial \Delta^n\to \Delta^n$?
Jan 29, 2015 at 16:58 comment added Karol Szumiło That's not true and I'm not using that, I'm only using that there is a factorization $\partial\Delta[n] \to \mathrm{Ex}^k X \to \mathrm{Ex}^\infty X$ for some $k$.
Jan 29, 2015 at 16:43 comment added COhrt Thank you, but your answer seems to assume that every map $\partial\Delta^n\to {Ex}^\infty X$ factorizes as $\partial\Delta^n\to X\to {Ex}^\infty X$ and that this factorization is functorial in some sense. Why is this always true?
Jan 29, 2015 at 15:44 comment added Karol Szumiło A relative lift involves a choice of a homotopy, so my $k$ is already your $l$.
Jan 29, 2015 at 15:37 comment added Dmitri Pavlov But the homotopy need not factor through the same Ex^k, it might land in some Ex^l where l is much bigger than k. So in the lifting condition one must allow k to increase first.
