What is exim_config_remote_smtp_smarthost? A file or a section of exim.conf?
The transport involved seems to be called "remote_smtp_smarthost". Are you
using a configuration front end? Perhaps some file suddenly isn't included
anymore. You can output the actual configuration with
exim -bP transport remote_smtp_smarthost
Check that it includes "port = 587".
