Uh... it mutt+exim work fine for me. Since mutt doesn't ask the MTA what
the hostname is, changing the MTA won't make mutt forget the hostname.
However, if your mutt configuration doesn't append the hostname to e-mail
addresses automatically, then the MTA has to do it. Make sure exim is
configured correctly.
