Do you have control over the command that it issues to call the MTA?

Sounds like it's calling Exim without any command line recipients and
also without the -t option (which pulls the recipients out of the To:
and Cc: lines). Try setting

log_selector = +arguments

in the Exim configuration file. That will make it log the arguments with
which it is called. My betting is that something is strange in the
argument list.

Nothing wrong with the header; the problem is with the envelope, it
would appear.
