Are you using a manualroute router for your smarthost ? If so, this is documented in chapter 20 of the docs:
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch20.html
I can think of several ways:
1) Use domains = condition and have multiple manualroute routers which work for a different set of domains
2) Use a route_list = . The example given in the docs is
route_list = \
dict.ref.example mail-1.ref.example:mail-2.ref.example ; \
thes.ref.example mail-3.ref.example:mail-4.ref.example
which sends mail destined for dict.ref.example to either mail-1.ref.example or mail-2.ref.example and mail to thes.ref.example to either mail-3.ref.example or mail-4.ref.example. You can use * for wildcards.
3) Use route_data =. That allows you to do lookups. The example given in the docs is having a file containing:
dict.ref.example: mail-1.ref.example:mail-2.ref.example
thes.ref.example: mail-3.ref.example:mail-4.ref.example
and then using route_data = ${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/the/file/name}} in the router.
Basically, have a look at chapter 20 - the examples there are pretty good. If you have further questions then please post them back to the list.
For your example, I'd probably do something like
route_list = special_domain smarthost2; \
* smarthost
