127.0.0.1 is not treated specially. Just allow it to relay, by setting
host_accept_relay = 127.0.0.1
If you RTFM about relaying, you will find this documented in section
46.4 "Control of relaying" in the current Exim manual.

NO! Do not do this. It allows any host to relay through your box, and
setting sender_address_relay isn't a very strong guard - anybody can
forge senders.
