Using quotes seems to work for me for the router:

balrog:/etc/exim4# grep ^DCsmarthost /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated
DCsmarthost = "${if exists {/etc/exim4/work-env}{smtp.work.it}{server.logic.univie.ac.at}}"

balrog:/etc/exim4# touch /etc/exim4/work-env
balrog:/etc/exim4# exim4 -bt ametzler
R: system_aliases for ametzler@???
R: hub_user for ametzler@???
ametzler@???
    <-- ametzler@???
  router = smarthost, transport = remote_smtp
  host host50.work.it [151.4.107.50]
balrog:/etc/exim4# rm /etc/exim4/work-env
balrog:/etc/exim4# exim4 -bt ametzler
R: system_aliases for ametzler@???
R: hub_user for ametzler@???
ametzler@???
    <-- ametzler@???
  router = smarthost, transport = remote_smtp
  host server.logic.univie.ac.at [131.130.190.41]


However "port" is not expanded, you'll have to copy your remote_smtp
to remote_smtp_8025 and use an expansion in the router to choose
remote_smtp or remote_smtp_8025.
