$sender_host_address is the address that contacted your system, it is
the IP address of the client, sending the message to your system, the
server.

Huh. Exim is logging via syslog?

For the address of the sending host Exim solely relies on the network
connection, not on some headers.

That's perfectly correct, isn't it?

Do you have examples wher Exim doesn't set the $sender_host_address to
127.0.0.1?
