You really need to ask on the Exim list - here I only offer help on
fetchmail.  However at a rough guess exim is seeing that the mail is
for @monet.no, doing the DNS lookup and forwarding the mail.  You need
to stop Exim from doing that.

It may be simply that you need to define "localhost" as being a local
mail domain, that may be enough to stop Exim from doing whatever it's
doing (at a guess, trawling the headers for a valid address).

That's down to your mail client (Thunderbird), simply hit "Reply To
All" then remove the non-list address(es).
