I think you should be sending your mail via your work's authenticated SMTP

To do that I'd have to configure my home Exim to route mail
differently according to the From-address,
Maybe not.
If you weren't running a 'home Exim' at all, but simply had
multiple accounts set up in your MUA, each account would seek to
connect to, authenticate with, and send/receive traffic through
the MSA/MTA (POP & IMAP) that it was meant to use.
Presuming, of course, that your various accounts are served on
ports you can configure to reach.
and I'd have to store my
shell password unencrypted in exim.conf!
Not ordinarily. Exim can use the hashes of the system password
files.
This does of course also mean that you can't register a domain name via a
3rd-party registrar and send mail from that domain via your ISP's mail
servers (since your ISP has no idea that you own that domain).
Nor wants you transiting mail for it over their MTA with an ID
not controlled by them.
Isn't this one of the main reasons why a lot people say SPF stinks?
It's more basic than that.
You would be missing a proper fixed IP, proper DNS entries
(rDNS), MX record - and more, etc.
HTH,
