Yes it does (or could) have everything to do with the smarthost.
Example...
take an exim configuration that has two routers,
Router 1 = deliver local
Router 2 = all else to smarthost
Now do sender verification with callouts, check the output with an
exim -bhc <ipAddr> and a "mail from:<bob@???>"
The callout will use the smarthost, not a direct to MX callout.
Point is really, that he needs to do an exim -bhc and watch for where the
callout connects to.
I did this test on an exim4.32 build with the exiscan patch-19 with only
the manualroute and accept routers compiled in, just for clarity.
*** bob@??? always fails when talking to a hotmail MX server ***
