That's not a valid ExecStop definition (for one, there is no path to su;
secondly it contains a ; which isn't doing what you think it does...)

I'd strongly advice against using su, but if you have to you'd have to
wrap this command in some kind of script:

e.g. ExecStop=/bin/sh -c '/sbin/su example-user; /sbin/foo .'

But I'd really recommend finding a cleaner way to do this!
