That was very easy actually:

This is a dirty patch to do callback verification from a non NULL address so
that it broken mail server which refuse null envelopes do not trigger the
check.
Note that you shouldn't use this patch until you've made sure that exim
doesn't trigger a callback verification if someone tries to send mail to
postmaster on your machine, otherwise you run the risk of creating a check
loop.

This _is_ a dirty hack and will probably trigger a callback loop if two
servers with this patch talk to one another (I'm assuming that exim
does trigger a callback when you do a rcpt to: postmaster, and you'd
have to stop the callback depending on who the receipient is, which
brings back the idea of extending recipients_reject_except or making some
recipients_callback_except option)
