Completely unrelated. Look at the two different times.

Nope. Exim doesn't pay any attention to the contents of Received
headers. What it rejected was the command

MAIL FROM:<root>

because the sender address was unqualified, as the error message says.
You need to find out what was attempting to submit this invalid message
by SMTP to your Exim server.
