You are expecting $sender_host_address to be blank for SMTP
connections from localhost. But when you are testing of
$sender_host_address == "" (i.e. blank), you are checking to see if it
was submitted locally, as in "cat file.eml | exim -t" or similar. It
sounds like what you really want is to test if it comes from either
127.0.0.1 or if it's from a locally submitted process, and do the same
rewrite for both.
This is from the manual, chapter 11, definition of $sender_host_address:
"When a message is received from a remote host, this variable contains
that host’s IP address. For locally submitted messages, it is empty."
