The value of $authenticated_id need not be the username. It can be set to
anything using the server_set_id option in the authenticator. So, if you
normally rewrite usernames into mailnames in the mail headers, you can also
rewrite the $authenticated_id. For example:
passwd_plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
...
server_set_id = ${lookup{$2}dbm{/usr/exim/tables/rewrites}\
{$value}{$2}}
Inserting the following line into the received_header_text definition:
${if def:authenticated_id { (${authenticated_id})}}}} \
then causes the mailname to be output in parentheses as part of the
Received header.
