put something like this before your dnslookup router:

smarthost:
driver = manualroute
domains = /etc/exim/smarthost_domains
route_data = your.smart.host
transport = remote_smtp

in the remote_smtp transport:

hosts_require_auth = your.smart.host

and in the authenticators section:

plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
client_send = ^your_login_name^your_login_password

login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
client_send = : your_login_name : your_login_secret


that should work. you can look into the wiki or the list archive for
more sophisticated examples (esp. regarding the auth config).
