I have now looked at this. It is not a problem with envelope-to.

Notice that there are TWO Received: header lines. The stripping of the
suffix is happening between them (check the "for" clauses). The second
Exim (i.e. the first Received:), which is the one that does the final
delivery and adds Envelope-To:, does not see the suffix. The problem is
somewhere in the first Exim.

Take a look at the rcpt_include_affixes option for the smtp transport on
the first Exim.
