The expected thing happens.
Your exim tries to send an e-mail to submit@bugs.debian.org, discovers
that it's disallowed to do so, and sends that 'Unable to deliver' e-mail
back to the user who has run reportbug.
Reportbug also sends the same e-mail to the user who run it, so at least
you have your bugreport verbatim.
