Those appear to match, unless you mean the literal string "{SERVER_IP}",
etc. Rewriting these in the syntax you describe will result in
ill-formed hostnames, which various anti-spam toolkits will interpret as
a sign of being spam.
So I advise against implementing this.

To shoot yourself in the foot, you would add something to your Exim
runtime configuration before the first "begin" line; the "begin" takes
you out of the main configuration and into the sub-sections.
You would define received_header_text as a string.
You *very* definitely want to keep $message_exim_id in the header; it
leaks no data about the original mail (it does contain things like an
encoded timestamp of when the mail was received, as part of the way that
a unique string is formed). So you'd set:
received_header_text = "Received: blah blah blah".
Refer to the Exim Configuration docs for the default value, work
stripping stuff from there instead of building up a new header from
scratch.
Dig out RFC 5321 and search for "Received:" and look at the syntax
definition there. Adhere to that, or have your mail classified as spam
by some of the recipients.
