You might want to make that:

foranyaddress $header_to:
( $thisaddress contains "all@???" )

or something like that. I think that what you have is comparing the entire contents of the To: header, therefore it would match if it is exactly all@??? but not if it is:

All People <all@???>

$sender_address is the envelope sender, you can see that in the incoming line of the exim log.

If you closely examine the envelope sender (as logged) and the exact format of the To: header, you'll probably find what is making the difference.
