Why do you want to rewrite the headers?

I'd not use /etc/aliases, it's mostly understood as redirection
information for local addresses.

    forward_virtual_user:
        driver = redirect
        domains = dsearch;/etc/exim/virtual
        data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch*{/etc/exim/virtual/$domain}}


And /etc/exim/virtual/<domain>
    foo:    doda@???
    # optionally forward all addresses
    *:      mrx@???
