This one sounds entirely reasonable, I wouldn't accept an address
without a domain either. If you can get rid of the @ it would get sorted
out by the qualify_domain setting.

Exim bends the rules a little here, technically the address is valid,
but the format is so rarely used by legitimate mail that it is blocked
by default. You will need to allow_domain_literals and setup a suitable
router. All of this is documented in the sample exim.conf that ships
with exim.
