A smtp transport with 'port = 50000` should do the trick,
see the Exim 4.20 specification, 29.3. Private options for smtp, port:

<http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.20/doc/html/spec_29.html#IX2026>

(For Exim 4.10: <http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.10/doc/html/spec_29.html#IX1580>)

In the index its 'port: sending TCP/IP'.
