exim4 doesn't connect to smarthost

[Micha Feigin <michf@post.tau.ac.il>]

For some reason my exim configuration stoped sending mail to the 
smarthost. I haven't changed anything in the configuration files manually 
but it is unstable regularly updated so it could be a result of an 
update, although it has been a few days now that I am having problems.

I am recieving mail localy using fetchmail which works.

Any ideas?

This is the last run in the /var/log/exim4/mainlog file (with mail 
addresses removed)
