Tony has identified what is happening. The comment in the code says

The trusted user doing local submission must specified the authenticated
address using -oMai.
I am not sure why this has ended up the way it has, but does make some sense.
Trusted callers can inject messages with senders that are not
themselves, so if they do so (using -f or -bs), Exim doesn't
automatically assume a value for $authenticated_id.
