It does not matter whether the route_list rule is generated the way I have done it or directly set in config files. I tested both. This isn't about functionality of exim4 configuration utilities but possibly an unintended change in behaviour of exim4 binary.
Yes, I admit, my use of dc_smarthost is not the one intended and documented. This does not change the fact that exim4 binary does not accept more than one rule option in route_list. Did I report this against wrong package then? Do I better, if I report this to upstream? I think the change in exim4 behaviour may affect others, those upgrading from Debian Jessie to Stretch AND having a route_list rule with more than one rule option AND Exim documentation for the version of Exim in the Debian package clearly says a route_list rule can have more than one rule option, so I chose to make a report against the Debian package delivering the affected binary.
