In my experience (a recent netinstall of Debian "testing"):
(1) The smarthost of my ISP would not accept my mail until I
configured Exim4 to "hide local mail address", with "visible domain
name for local users" as the domain of my ISP ("oplink.net").
(2) The address in the From: line of an outgoing message may be set to
any address you wish, irrespective of the setting in Exim4; and this
may be changed from one message to the next. Moreover, Mutt can be
configured to automatically change both the address in the From: line
and the signature.
