You problem is in the flags (the Ffrsw) at the end of the line.
The Exim manual has this to say on rewriting flags:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
34.6 Flags specifying which headers and envelope addresses to rewrite
If none of the following flag letters, nor the `S' flag (see section
34.7) are
present, a main rewriting rule applies to all headers and to both the
sender
and recipient fields of the envelope, whereas a transport-time rewriting
rule
just applies to all headers. Otherwise, the rewriting rule is skipped
unless
the relevant addresses are being processed.
E rewrite all envelope fields
F rewrite the envelope From field
T rewrite the envelope To field
b rewrite the Bcc: header
c rewrite the Cc: header
f rewrite the From: header
h rewrite all headers
r rewrite the Reply-To: header
s rewrite the Sender: header
t rewrite the To: header
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
so to rewrite To: fields, include Tt in the flags.
