The exim4 documentation claims that the passwd.client file is applied
to the result of reverse translating the ip address of the host! The
fact that I need to put wildcard names into passwd.client seems to
support this claim. I thus rejected /etc/hosts tricks as a
workaround. But thanks for the thought.
