If I understand you well, you would like exim to make a HELO reflecting
sender's domain name? I don't think you can configure exim in such a way.
Furthermore IMHO that would be a bad idea as you HELO/RDNS wouldn't
match and some sites filter on this. Some people also filter on IPs with
changing HELOs as they mostly are zombies.
