No, you can't have two smarthost routers. What you're seeing is the
wonderfully retarded default Exim config on Debian. While I generally
rip it out and put in a full fledged exim4.conf, that's often overkill.
I would recommend you run "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config" and follow the
instructions for setting up a smarthost.
