As of 0.87, TMDA switched back to sending mail via the sendmail
program (/usr/sbin/sendmail on FreeBSD).

Nope.  But perhaps /usr/sbin/sendmail doesn't end up calling the Exim
version of sendmail.  Sendmail (the real thing) won't allow you to
change the envelope sender via the '-f' switch unless it is
specifically configured to do so.

I haven't looked at the 5.x line yet, but on later 4.x versions,
/etc/mail/mailer.conf is used to set appropriate paths to alternate
MTA programs, like sendmail.  Any program that uses /usr/sbin/sendmail
will end up consulting that file to determine which binary to actually
use.
