i got going too fast on the delete key, and so got a brief glance at your
reply before it went away.

you have more of a php problem than an exim problem. is your php
system configured to use SMTP or to call the "sendmail" program?
(the answer is in your /etc/php.ini file).

if it's using smtp, then you need to figure out how to get php to set
the envelope sender you want.

if you're using the "sendmail" method, i found an alternative method
that i'd never seen before on this page:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php

scroll down in it and you'll find an example of using exim's batch
smtp feature instead of the traditional -t option.
