You shouldn't be mucking with just part of the message-ID. You could
easily cause duplicates and that could cause your user's mail to
disappear (many sites use the message-ID as the key to prevent duplicate
delivery).

If you really want to hide internal hostnames in the messsage-ID header
(why, I can't imagine), then you should delete the entire thing and have
Exim create a new, unique, one from scratch.
