You can probably achieve what you want by (1) saving $sender_address in a
$acl_m* variable in an ACL before submission fix-ups occur; (2) use
errors_to on your outgoing router or return_path on your outgoing
transport to restore the sender address using $acl_m*.

However it would probably be neater to add a /return_path_retain option to
Exim. (I think it is better if the default behaviour of submission mode is
similar to locally submitted messages.)
