Please don't do that. It's ridiculously easy to forge "From" addresses,
and you'll have a system open for spammers to use.
A viable solution would be to require your travelling users to
authenticate themselves (using the mechanisms available in SMTP), and
allow relaying from authenticated users. This is the default setup in
Debian, you just need to set an authentication database. I believe there
are some examples in the configuration file; the whole story is found in
chapters 33 onwards in the Exim documentation[0].
