Exim can rewrite just the headers you want to rewrite.
Put your alias in the etc/email-addresses file (as was suggested earlier)
/and then edit the REWRITE CONFIGURATION to rewrite "r" , the reply header.
As you can see, I rewrite From: Reply-to: Sender: and Env-From: headers

*@claire ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
{$value}fail} frsF
# End of Exim configuration file
