If you are feeding it a message with that leading From, you are feeding it
invalid headers and Exim is "fixing" it for you. Strip that leading From, and
it works just fine. This is by design.
If you are asking us to kludge Exim to handle improperly formatted emails
because others do it too, that's worth considering, but thus far the answer has
been no to this specific question.
Look at this:

That means that you originally gave it a message with an invalid From line, so
exim escaped it, and then put the From delivery line of the user that it
delivered the email to. The fix is to not give it a message with invalid
headers in the first place, ie make your client strip the mbox header, which
doesn't belong with message headers (essentially tail -n +2 the message file).

Configuring a mail server to drop or lose information is almost never the
correct thing to do.
