That generally speaking makes debugging harder, but I can see the answer
anyway in this case.

You need to do one of two things:
Fix your hostname resolution. This is my favored approach - it involves
editing /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname to make your machine know it's
real, internet addreessable hostname. Then exim will use the real name
automatically.
Set $primary_hostname to your internet addressable name in your
exim configuration. Details of how to do this (depending on
which way of handling configuration of exim on a Debian system you
have chosen) are best discovered on the Debian exim mailing list,
pkg-exim4-users@???.
Take care,
