Are you manualy setting this in your configuration? If uname() returns a single-component name, Exim calls gethostbyname() (or getipnodebyname() where available) in an attempt to acquire a fully qualified host name. Can you check what your gethostbyname/getipnodebyname returns? I guess that there is something not right with your /etc/hosts which misguides gethostbyname. I have never fully understood what to do with /etc/hosts if one does not have a static IP address, and since all my hosts do have static IP addresses, I have neve had a problem like that. For starters, I'd try to add an entry with your full host name for the IP address your network interface actually has.
