The existing configuration system is flexible. Just add your own
remote_smtp transport or modify ours.

And it's hard to add at this place, since the file is route data which
is handed verbatim to exim.

Our configuration is rather not geared towards such advanced (and
exotic) requirements. Feel free to use as much of our work that is
helpful to you and modify it to your needs.

This may be a case where the split config scheme may be helpful. But
I'm biased here since I'm a big fan of the split configuratoin.
