^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The mail sent with mail(1) doesn't have any headers that match the
pattern in exim's rule.
One solutin is to change the pattern so it matches the FQDN as well as
the hostname only. The other solution is to find out why the two
programs come up with different names for your machine, and adjust the
lookup (and maybe the pattern) so they all match.
