I use:

  deny     sender_domains = +accepted_here_domains
           authenticated  = *
           condition      = ${if eq {$authenticated_id}{${lc:$sender_address}}\
                             {no}{yes}}
           message         = rejected: You must send as the ID you authenticate with.


(sender domains is likely not needed in your config, I added
it for some reason here)

But, wouldn't they still reply as their 'real' account? Otherwise,
just have their MUA use a different sending profile(s) that they can
select to send as web/post/whatever.

For debian specific info, it's best to ask on the debian exim list:
