smart_route:
    driver = manualroute
    ignore_target_hosts = 127.0.0.0/8
    condition = ${if or { \
                    {bool{FORCED_MX_DNS_CHECK}} \
                    {!match_domain{$domain}{+local_domains}} \
                }}
    transport = ${if eq{$domain}{$original_domain} \
                    { remote_smtp } \
                    { remote_smtp_forward_transport } \
                }
    self = pass
    route_list = * smtp.example.com
    no_more

For changes to take effect, exim will need to be restarted using

systemctl restart exim
