This has been on the Exim wish list for quite some time. From the "left
over from Exim 3" section:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(132) 01-Mar-2000 S Lookup host name from outgoing interface
Vadim Vygonets <vadik@???>

Instead of primary_hostname, look up the name for the interface that is being
used for sending. Suggested patch supplied, but this should be an option of the
smtp transport.
