I think I have it working for those that wish to know. I have the 
smarthost section at the TOP of the router section (else the mail is 
delivered like normal) and I match on the domains I wish to send through 
a smart host. I somehow set DCsmarthost using debconf but I'm not sure 
where deb conf stores this so I can only change it by stuffing around, 
as I used to use a smarthost it was already set (if you know where it is 
set please tell me)
Hope someone else finds this useful.

smarthost:
      debug_print = "R: smarthost for $local_part@$domain"
      driver = manualroute
      domains = mail.com
      transport = remote_smtp_smarthost
      route_list = * DCsmarthost byname
      host_find_failed = defer
      same_domain_copy_routing = yes
