If a replacement effect caused a permanent that would normally be placed into exile, placed it into the graveyard instead, would it still return to the battlefield if a card such as Deadeye Navigator attempted to blink it?
Generally yes. If a replacement effect causes an object to go to one public zone (the graveyard in this case) instead of another (exile) the effect that put it there can track it to the first public zone it goes to. If that object moves from that zone to another though, the effect will lose track of it.
However, I am not aware of a card that replaces exiling a card with putting it into the graveyard. Is there a specific card you have in mind for this interaction?

It's for my MCC submission haha.
Current wording:
If a permanent would be exiled from the battlefield, put it into its owner's graveyard instead.
Spells can't be cast and permanents can't enter the battlefield from exile.
I'm a former judge (lapsed), who keeps up to date on rules and policy. Keep in mind that judges' answers aren't necessarily more valid than those of people who aren't judges; what matters is we can quote the rules to back up our answers. When in doubt, ask for such quotes.
9/15/2013: If either the sacrificed creature or the target creature card leaves the graveyard before the delayed triggered ability resolves during your next upkeep, it won’t return.
9/15/2013: However, if the sacrificed creature is put into another public zone instead of the graveyard, perhaps because it’s your commander or because of another replacement effect, it will return to the battlefield from the zone it went to.
