For mail from remote machines you need to tell it which machines you are
prepared to accept unqualified addresses from. If you set
receiver_unqualified_hosts = *
it will allow the whole world to send you unqualified addresses, which
Exim will then qualifiy with its qualify domain. You may prefer to
restrict the set of hosts (or networks) from which you accept
unqualified addresses by being more selective with
receiver_unqualified_hosts and/or setting receiver_unqualified_nets.
Note that spammers have in the past abused systems which accept
unqualified addresses from anywhere.
