Are you still getting the smtp-failure message you originally reported,
namely one like

    Jun 09 22:00:35 2005 (32666) delivery to xxx at zzzz.net failed with
    code -1: (-2, 'Name or service not known')

If so, all this means is that the error occurs in

         self.__conn = smtplib.SMTP()

before any of the added logging.

I don't think you mentioned this before. Has something changed? Are you
now getting mail to exim and rejected by exim? What does the reject
from exim say?

Do you get anything in Mailman's 'smtp' log?

Does the time stamp change on SMTPDirect.pyc and SMTPDirect.pyo if any?
If not, try just removing them.

The 'syslog' calls in SMTPDirect.py call Mailman's own syslog, not the
system one (yet).
