You can skip the ifndef/endif stuff since this only is a protection
against macro redefinition.

You are still using split config? If so, you have made the change in
the right place. Did you restart exim afterwards?

Is provider-smtp still smtp.012.net.il? If so, I currently do not see
any issue why this should not work. Maybe debug output obtained by
running

echo foo | exim -d-all+auth+deliver+transport mh+debian-packages at zugschlus.de

can help in finding out. This debugging output should not contain any
private data such as passwords.

Greetings
