That's a bit strange, since the documentation for the autoreply transport
states that it always generates mail with an empty return address. Also, Exim
should at most add a Sender: line to such mails.

Sounds like the autoreplies are passed to Exim in some unclean way. This is
what I get with a similar config (untrusted user (I picked mysql) different
from the local part of the address):
