exim4 under debian and port 587

Hi all.

I'm using exim4 under debian on a machine, which is supposed to send all
out-going mail to a smarthost. I'd like to set it up to do this on
port 587, which should be available on any properly configured
network, whereas port 25 may not always be available, as many of us
know I'm sure. So, for testing purposes, I've blocked off this
machine's ability to send mail on port 25 via a firewall on my box
connecting my lan to the outside world.

On the machine running exim4, I put 

port = 587

into
/etc/exim4/conf.d/transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp_smarthost, I
ran update-exim4.conf, and restarted exim4, but /var/log/exim4/mainlog
shows that the connection to the smarthost is timing out, which can
only mean that it's still trying to connect on port 25.

Can anyone please tell me what I'm missing? Thanks.

Greg
