You could of course provide a From: header in the first place, then
Exim would not have to add one (not sure if mail is capable of such
'advanced' features).
Or you could suppress the generation of the From: header (eventually
based on the condition who called exim) using the ACL modifier control
= suppress_local_fixups (see
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.63/doc/html/spec_html/ch43.html#SECTthefrohea
and
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.63/doc/html/spec_html/ch39.html#id2672936)
But of course this is an ugly hack and no clean solution that I would
recommend.

That's probably a good idea.
