Ah.  Then there's no telling what may be pre-customized from defaults.  A
default Exim install should be returning hobbit at hhcgvl-moni03, which might
not be accepted by your Exchange server, either, but wouldn't be as
mysterious.  I'd guess that either primary_hostname is set to a null
string ("") or there's a rewrite rule that doesn't know its domain. 
You're probably getting better help than that over on the Exim lists.
