Stick a smartuser director at the end of the directors configuration.
Point it at a transport that sends it to your smart host.

Oh, right. You've almost figured it out. Instead of the default
remote_smtp, you need a special one that specifies the host. For
example:
smart_host:
transport = smtp
hosts = my.smart.host
gethostbyname
It's "hosts" rather than "host" because you can have a list.
