I'm not sure if this is the correct way, but it is the way
I fixed the same problem.

Comment out your inet_hosts entry in your routers file.  Just
let the smart_host take care of that.
Also, you are being redundant with the smarthost_path and
smarthost_transport being in both the config and routers file.
I would take it out of the config file.
