Yes. $authenticated_sender contains the value that was received with the
message (if any). It cannot be changed.

You can set what is sent out with an SMTP/LMTP delivery by setting
authenticated_sender; you can of course print it out by duplication:

authenticated_sender = <whatever>
debug_print = <the same whatever>

You can also see what is sent out in the SMTP dialogue that is included
in the debug output.

First step is to ensure that Exim authenticates when doing this
delivery. Have you configured a suitable authenticator? Is it working?
Is Exim sending an AUTH command? Is it accepted? If not, you need to fix
that first.
