exim only allows "trusted" users to transparently set any arbitrary
envelope sender (MAIL FROM:). If a user tries to set From: to
something other than $USER@$HOST then exim adds a Sender: header to
indicate where the message really came from. One solution, if your
box isn't a real internet host, is to put your externally visible
address in /etc/email-addresses so that exim will rewrite the sender
appropriately. An alternative is to make yourself a "trusted" user,
but that is not a good idea and doesn't scale in general.
