Which remote host are you using exactly? Because it seems (due to the error) that you are using an smtp name which is present on your server.

Remote mailserver usage is only used if your server can't send mail itself. And then the remote domain name should not be present as domain on your local server. It's an external service.

i get this error even after increasing it to 50 point from 10

here a dns mx record i get in response when i check it from dns checker

50:mail.domainname.com.

here my exim.conf code

note: 192.1222.1191.0 is dummy record for thread

smart_route:
driver = manualroute
domains = ! +local_domains
ignore_target_hosts = 127.0.0.0/8
condition = "${perl{check_limits}}"
route_list = !+local_domains 192.1222.1191.0
transport = remote_smtp

You did not work according to the docs.

You have:

route_list = !+local_domains 192.1222.1191.0

Docs say:

route_list = * smtp.external.com

Also, you used the wrong order, that can make a difference too in some cases.

You have:

route_list = !+local_domains 192.1222.1191.0
transport = remote_smtp

should be like this without the local domains and other order and thing added:

transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * smtp.externaldomain.com
no_more

Maybe change this and then things will work.
Ofcourse change smtp.externaldomain.com with the correct domain value.
