How did you submit this? If it wasn't via SMTP over TCP/IP, the Sender:
header will be removed. Ah, I see it was "local". That explains it.

Notice that Sender is marked with '*'. That means it has been removed
from the message.
You cannot submit a message over the local interface with a Sender in
it. Exim removes Sender, and, if necessary, inserts a new one with the
authenticated message sender.
Try your test again by telnetting to the SMTP port.
Exim manual -> index -> Sender: header -> page 234 -> section 46.11
("The Sender: header") -> gives this explanation.
