has anyone tried mixing sharp sand with smooth exterior emulsion to add
a texture? Is that feasaable?

Well you can but there are quite large bits in sharp sand that may
well fall off the wall after a bit of weathering making holes or weak
spots in the paint film. Always assuming the paint will stick 'em
there in the first place.

TBH matching textures is pretty much impossible.
