I want to create a hobby project and release it under MIT. I work as a developer professionally and i have some clauses in my employment contract that gives any IP to my employer. My employer is open to amending these and/or adding exceptions for specific projects. Can anyone point to guidance resources on how to formulate such exceptions properly?

You are repeating what your employer told you, not the actual law. Of course hiring lawyers would be expensive so it’s best avoided, which is why OP is here.
