I have gone back and re-read your original message, which said
when some host within this address range sends a
mail to my smart host with an unqualified domain (ie user@hotmail) it
doesn't reject the mail but qualifies it to user@???
You didn't really mean "unqualified"; you meant "partially-qualified".
That's what confused me. Sorry.
This is nothing to do with qualify_domain. That applies only to
addresses with NO domain.
You should run
exim -d9 -bt user@hotmail
to see how Exim handles that address. Actually, better make that -d11 so
that you see the DNS lookups as well. DNS servers are liable to do that
kind of "widening". Oh, I see you've tried with -bh. That's a start...

*Something* has widened the domain in there. If you do that test again
using -d11 as well, you should see more.
You haven't got a wildcard MX record for your domain, by any chance,
have you?
