Here's most of my exim.conf - I've cut out the comments to save bandwidth.
I've inserted a few comments of my own - they are all in ()'s and will be
on the line after the one the comment will be referring to.

(this is the bit I think will solve your problem)
(my user name on my Linux box is mike - that's the first part)
(the second part shows what my email address rewrite is to be)
(the third shows which parts of the headers to rewrite - I'm not sure
about them but it seems to work)

There we go. That's the whole thing - probably more than was really needed
but I figured I'd better err on the side of too much in this case. Especially
since I'm really not 100% sure on how everything there works. What I do know
is that this works for me here on a potato system with exim 3.11-2 and
fetchmail 5.2.3-1
