finally it was as simple as listing all smart hosts in a colon seperated
list.

i do think that the configuration facilities have great advantages over
plain conffile editing for unexperienced users. but they're not always
an option for complicated setups.
in my case the facility does exactly what I would like it to do: it
takes the colon-seperated smarthost list and gives it as argument to the
rout_list in the smarthost manualroute.
