No, it won't. There is no relation between the hosts condition and the
return-path.

Quoting spec.txt:
|
|      accept  hosts = :

|
| This ACL statement accepts the recipient if the sending host matches
| the list. But what does that strange list mean? It doesn't actually
| contain any host names or IP addresses. The presence of the colon puts
| an empty item in the list; Exim matches this only if the incoming
| message didn't come from a remote host. The colon is important. Without
| it, the list itself is empty, and can never match anything.
