For that the Transport is too late to achieve it. I'd suggest you look
at the Router options, especially address_data, and play with that.
Check chapter 15ff of the documentation. I did not play with that up
till now, so I don't have a "ready made solution" for it. But others
might have?!

BTW: if you don't know that already, you can test many things exim does
with "exim -bh <source-ip> -d". That way you can simulate an SMTP
session coming from that source ip and see how exim processes it. As an
example, my virtual router gives something like this for a message to
foo@???:

--------> virtual router <--------
local_part=foo domain=domain.com
[...]
expanded: foo, bar
[...]
