How will you read the mail?

You need a seperate piece of software to fetch the mail from
gmail via the POP3 protocol. Fetchmail or, ideally,
retchmail.

You need to configure exim4 so that
* you have a smarthost to send mail via (your ISP perhaps)
* you can do per-user address rewriting
The latter might be supported without any exim4 config,
either by adding yourself to /etc/email-addresses, or
configuring your MUA (such as mutt) to add an explicit From:
header. The latter is probably best.
