You are aware that the latter has a spurious space in there after
unfolding? ie:
route_list = *
      ${extract{server} {${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/exim-smarthosts}}}}


A route list consists of three space-separated parts (<domain pattern>
<list of hosts> <options>), and the former two are are expanded
_separately_, so exim tries to expand "${extract{server} " and fails.

This is no bug.

PS: 4.14 is pretty old.
PPS: I am surprised that you don't need
     route_list = * \
           ${extract....
