Can you reproduce this by piping a message (or even a single line) to
exim?

For me, it seems to work:
$ cat /etc/email-addresses
mh: local.test at zugschlus.de
$ echo foo | exim -d-all+rewrite mh+debian-packages at zugschlus.de
<debug output deleted>

Log entries:

I'd like to see your Debug output.

Greetings
