The quotes disappear because Exim dequotes local parts for internal use,
in accordance with the recommendations in some RFC or other. This means
that, for example, different encodings such as "a<b" and a\<b will be
interpreted as the same local part.
You probably need to make use of ${quote: in your new_address setting.
