I need to see more of what you're doing, since I don't think the problem
is here (or precisely as described).
With sufficiently recent Exim, you can do -be style expansions with a
message, to supply headers, etc. The "-bem" option.
Eg, putting a short email into a file "foo" with the Content-Type:
header you described, and running "exim -bem foo", I see:
% exim -bem foo
