Well, from the Exim docs...

timezone
Use: main
Type: string
Default: unset

The value of timezone is used to set the environment variable TZ while 
running Exim (if it is different on entry). This ensures that all 
timestamps created by Exim are in the required timezone. If you want all 
your timestamps to be in UTC (aka GMT) you should set 
timezone = UTC

The default value is taken from TIMEZONE_DEFAULT in Local/Makefile, or, if 
that is not set, from the value of the TZ environment variable when Exim 
is built. If timezone is set to the empty string, either at build or run 
time, any existing TZ variable is removed from the environment when Exim 
runs. This is appropriate behaviour for obtaining wall-clock time on some, 
but unfortunately not all, operating systems. 

Do you define the timezone in the Exim config?  We do the have it in our 
config.  When I built our Exim, the Unix TZ was/is...

TZ=US/Pacific

Looking through the code, I can only find 1 line that deals with "Date:", 
in receive.c ...

header_add(htype_other, "%sDate: %s\n", resent_prefix, 
tod_stamp(tod_full));

Although not entirely straight forward, tod.c is not that big and only 
seems to have one way to calculate GMT offset.

CEST = Central European Summer Time
CEDT = Central European Daylight Time

So there are two (maybe more) abbreviations.
