While I'm not exim expert, I would hazard a guess that exim is
rewriting some of your headers. It's kind of lucky, a worse scenario
would have been if exim had been set to not relay based on the From:
header. One trick to see if it's rewriting headers is to use some
other mua and see what happens.
echo hi | mail -s "Test `date`" email-address-you-read-goes-here
My guess is that it will reformat headers to change it from something
like user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
