Using exim directly is about as real as it gets.

RBLs do NOT block on the sender address; they don't care about the
sender's address; they care only about the IP# of the system making the
connection. Using your scenario, that would be your localhost.

So the answer is "you can't".

By using "exim -bh" you're connecting directly to exim but presetting
the IP exim thinks the connection is coming from.
