Have you tried using a fully-qualified name instead of "smtp"?

Or you could try to make a small change to
/etc/exim4/conf.d/router/200_exim4-config_primary.  Change the
route_list line of the smarthost router from this:

  route_list = * DCsmarthost

to this:

  route_list = * DCsmarthost byname

good times,
