No, it still does not deliver mail to the smarthost despite setting
/etc/exim4/passwd.client correctly and configuring it to send through
smarthost in debconf. It does not seem to be defaulting to SSL anymore.

I don't know if the following changelog entry has anything to do with
it.

  # Allow cleartext client AUTH PLAIN and AUTH LOGIN by setting a macro.
