1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $b \cdot ab^3 \times (-2a^5b)$ where $b = \frac{21m^2n}{7m}$.
2. **Substitute the value of $b$:** Replace $b$ in the expression with $\frac{21m^2n}{7m}$. The expression becomes
$$\left(\frac{21m^2n}{7m}\right) \cdot a \left(\frac{21m^2n}{7m}\right)^3 \times \left(-2a^5 \cdot \frac{21m^2n}{7m}\right)$$
3. **Simplify $b$:
$$b = \frac{21m^2n}{7m} = \frac{\cancel{7} \times 3 m^{\cancel{1}} m n}{\cancel{7} m} = 3mn$$
4. **Rewrite the expression using simplified $b$:
$$3mn \cdot a (3mn)^3 \times (-2a^5 \cdot 3mn)$$
5. **Calculate $(3mn)^3$:
$$ (3mn)^3 = 3^3 m^3 n^3 = 27 m^3 n^3$$
6. **Substitute back:
$$3mn \cdot a \cdot 27 m^3 n^3 \times (-2 a^5 \cdot 3 mn)$$
7. **Multiply constants and variables stepwise:
$$3 \times 27 = 81$$
$$81 \times (-2) \times 3 = 81 \times (-6) = -486$$
8. **Multiply variables:
$$m^{1} \times m^{3} \times m^{1} = m^{1+3+1} = m^5$$
$$n^{1} \times n^{3} \times n^{1} = n^{1+3+1} = n^5$$
$$a^{1} \times a^{5} = a^{1+5} = a^6$$
9. **Combine all:
$$-486 a^6 m^5 n^5$$
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{-486 a^6 m^5 n^5}$$
