Max,
Here are some techniques:

Evaluate/@(Exp[2*3*#]&)

        E^(6*#1) &

{2*3+4,#}&/.x_Times:>RuleCondition[x]

        {6+5,#1}&

{2*3+4*5,#}&/.x_Times:>RuleCondition[x]

        {6+20,#1}&

[
(!) But note that RuleCondition is an internal symbol and is barely
documented:

?RuleCondition

        RuleCondition is an internal symbol.

RuleCondition[a] is equivalent to RuleCondition[a,True]
]

To avoid evaluationg both the products, we can use

ReplacePart[{2*3+4*5, #}&,{2*3+3*4, #}&[[1,1,1]], {1,1,1}]

        {6+4 5,#1}&
