I'd recommend putting the fqdn that you want exim to use there.
You can also specify it in exims' configuration. Unless you do have good reason to do so, I'd advise against it and let exim use the host name (which the automatic configuration which I don't exactly recommend hopefully lets exim use unless you tell it otherwise). When using a smarthost, it might be irrelevant, though it won't hurt when it complies to RFC. -- Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons might swallow us.
