Where is that showing up? In a tcpdump (authoritative)? Or in the Exim
loglines which have '<=' on them, showing the sender _as_received_?

You want to use +return_path_on_delivery in log_selector to see the
return_path as sent; *not* sender_on_delivery.

  * return_path_on_delivery: The return path that is being transmitted with the
    message is included in delivery and bounce lines, using the tag P=. This is
    omitted if no delivery actually happens, for example, if routing fails, or
    if delivery is to /dev/null or to ":blackhole:".


  * sender_on_delivery: The message's sender address is added to every delivery
    and bounce line, tagged by F= (for "from"). This is the original sender
    that was received with the message; it is not necessarily the same as the
    outgoing return path.
