Mine's in the first (general, I suppose) section.  I don't think order
matters here, but FWIW, mine comes just after "gecos-name" and before a
DCconfig_smarthost=1 entry.

I'm running the testing version.  They've changed it a bit lately,
They now hve two smarthost routers - a "smarthost-rewrite" and a
"smarthost".  Under both these, I have an entry
    "host_find_failed = defer"
I believe this may be what does it.

What kind of errors?  If it's your SMTP host rejecting your mails
because of unresolvable sender address, you need to do header rewriting
in Exim.
