/etc/email-addresses rewwriting does only happen for local_domains.

I'd try to enable rewrite logging in the log_selector setting and see
what's happening. Also , exim -brw could be of help to see why
rewriting does not occur.

If you don't succeed in debugging yourself, please get back here or on
the pkg-exim4-users mailing list.

This gets translated to local_domains, so rewriting only occurs for
localhost and the fqdn of your machine.
