Your Oracle server is not adding the Date: header. Somewhere in the Exim 4
series, Exim (correctly) stopped adding this automatically.
You can re-enable the old behavior by using the "control = submission" ACL
rule somewhere in your RCPT ACL. This puts Exim into "submission" mode, in
which it does various fixups like adding the Date line. Read the manual
for more info.
For example, you can substitute the normal line saying "accept hosts =
+relay_from_hosts" to say something like this:
accept hosts = +relay_from_hosts
control = submission
(if that is an appropriate thing to do, and assuming your Oracle machine
is in +relay_from_hosts of course. Alternatively, you could have a special
line which only does it for the Oracle machine. )
