On an ACL condition that checks if mail is destined for the smart 
router, add:
    control = queue_only


The ACL where you current set "control = submission" for such messages
is a good candidate.

However, you might want to debug the underlying problem, too. It
shouldn't take a minute or two for you to submit a message to your
smarthost. Is there perhaps an ident timeout (or two?) in the process?
