So far as I can see, they already *are* uncommented in exim4-config 4.34-4:

adb@starbug:/usr/src/exim4/exim-4.34-4$ egrep -l --recursive "# This
rewriting rule" . | xargs -n1 egrep -A5 "# This rewriting rule"

# This rewriting rule is particularily useful for dialup users who
# don't have their own domain, but could be useful for anyone.
# It looks up the real address of all local users in a file
*@+local_domains ${lookup{${local_part}}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
                   {$value}fail} Ffrs

# This rewriting rule is particularily useful for dialup users who
# don't have their own domain, but could be useful for anyone.
# It looks up the real address of all local users in a file
*@+local_domains ${lookup{${local_part}}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
                   {$value}fail} Ffrs

Running the above over the local source trees I have available shows that
the result is true for 4.33-1 as well as 4.34-[12456].

What version of exim4-config do you have installed? Have you modified that
file at all?
