Why not just fix your hostname resolution? Presumably your machine has
a name other than localhost. For local part rewriting, you can use
/etc/email-addresses.
For the exim specific parts of your question, I suggest follow ups to
the Debian exim mailing list. For the more general questions about how
to fix your hostname, I suggest debian-user@???.
Take care,
