Aha! You should set
qualify_domain = psg.com
to override the default, which is your host name. This will stop it
revealing your host name, and as the sender and from addresses are now
the same, it will also not add a Sender header.

Yup. Exim insists on working with fully-qualified addresses only.
However, if you set qualify_domain as above, it will qualify with that.

I think qualify_domain is the solution to all these problems.
