As I read your explanation below, you want to rewrite the envelope from
address (which _is_ the actual from address) to the slightly more
unreliable address in the From: header, because you want the rate limiting
to match something other than the actual sender.

I'm not sure that I've understood the problem area correctly, but a
solution may be to use SRS (sender rewriting scheme), so that the
forwarding MTA's domain is used instead.

I have NOT performed such a change to Exim's configuration myself, but
someone else has:

YMMV, implement this at your own risk, and remember to test before going
into production.
