I'm not sure if this is relevant to the problem you are having, but
its a known limitation/bug in Exim that outbound SMTP connections can
use a different IP address than what is listed in the "interfaces" tag
in a transport.
There is a workaround of setting "connection_max_messages = 1" on the
transport that will fix this, but with the side effect of limiting only
a single message in a single delivery.
Here is the bug report:
http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1141
Again, not sure if this is what you are running into, but its easy enough
to test with the workaround to see if it resolves the issue.
