It is actually called
/etc/exim4/conf.d/transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp_smarthost and
is a file in our split config scheme that holds a transport called
remote_smtp_smarthost:
|remote_smtp_smarthost:
| debug_print = "T: remote_smtp_smarthost for $local_part@$domain"
| driver = smtp
| hosts_try_auth = ${if exists {CONFDIR/passwd.client}{DCsmarthost}{}}
| tls_tempfail_tryclear = false
| DEBCONFheaders_rewriteDEBCONF
| DEBCONFreturn_pathDEBCONF
the two DEBCONF lines are magically replaced by the right thing
depening on the type of configuration.
To have the transport deliver to a different port, it is necessary to
manually edit that file (or /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template in case of
non-split config[1]) to add the port directive.
Exim 4.53 or later can accept port numbers in route_list entries, but
I don't think that the debconf front end supports that yet. We need to
get that one in shape before December when the next Debian stable
version will release.
Greetings
