The backticks replace content, so you end up with a literal in your config.
Try this instead:

   rewrite r_host { set("`HOSTNAME`", value("HOST")); };

That certainly fixes the config from complaining, but I now just get an empty string; for which syslog-ng replaces with the hosts IP instead.

I’m just trying to re-write each messages host with the hostname of the current server.
