No, I don't think the syntax is correct and yes you can combine
smarthost and local delivery.

One question though, why not use exim4-config as it makes the
configuration so easy :) `dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config`

The dc_other_hostnames has a normal exim list construction syntax. I
think the dc_ in the beginning of that variable means that it is a
debian configuration specific variable. The syntax should however be
the same as with native exim domain list.

The exim list syntaxes are explained at:
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.60/doc/html/spec.html/ch10.html

So, your line should say
dc_other_hostnames='localhost.localdomain : *.thuis.net'

BTW, why you have the '*' in your domain? Do you have multiple hosts in
your domain and they have separate addresses like
somebody@host1.thuis.net? If the addresses are only somebody@thuis.net,
then you shouldn't need the '*' (just a thought :)
