It really doesn't make a lot of sense that it would be qualifying that 
address with your local domain.

The only guess I have is that you have something in /etc/email-addresses 
that is making it rewrite the address.

Otherwise, you'd need to post your /etc/exim/exim.conf and 
/etc/email-addresses files.
