You're sure you want to do this? Isn't anything addressed to me@??? going to be spam? There's no reason that it should even be delivered to your mailserver, unless you've published an MX record for anything.mysite.com, but why would you do this for a domain that you aren't using for email.

If you do want to do it, then you should probably set up rewriting for
*@*.mysite.com $1@??? ST

Or something like that. Check chapter 31 of the documentation
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-address_rewriting.html

I don't use WHM, so I'm not sure how you get to edit the config file, but their web site suggests to me that you'll want the advanced editor.
