Exim does not transform messages. Ever. That's just the way it is. From
the spec:

accept_8bitmime                 Type: boolean                  Default: false


    This option causes Exim to send 8BITMIME in its response to an SMTP EHLO
    command, and to accept the BODY= parameter on MAIL commands. However,
    though Exim is 8-bit clean, it is not a protocol converter, and it takes
    no steps to do anything special with messages received by this route.
    Consequently, this option is turned off by default.


I am pretty well in agreement with what DJB says in
http://cr.yp.to/smtp/8bitmime.html.
