That's the standard contents of the file, not mentioning protocol, so it
stays at its default value: smtp. You have to set it to smtps, but not
in this file. Either in /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template (if you have
exim4/use_split_config: false in the output of debconf-show exim4-config)
or in /etc/exim4/conf.d/transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp_smarthost
(if you use split config or you run update-exim4.conf.template).

After the above change, this should turn into smtps. Which also makes
the smarthost port specification (::465) reduntant.
