Exim's submission mode is set on a per-message basis
under the control of the local configuration.
The example config file in Exim git sets submission
for
a) anything received from a named-list of hosts
(the "list" can be static, can be a DB lookup).
The list is called "relay_from hosts" which is
a hint as to the intended use - but names are only
interpreted by the config, not meaningful to the
Exim code.
b) anything received under SMTP authentication
