For me (shaw) it looks like this: (note the backticks)
define(`SMART_HOST', `shawmail')

When I've set it up on telus, I used "mail.telus.net" instead of
"smtp.telus.net", but that was a while ago...

The important part is to see these lines in your .cf after compiling
the .mc: (I'm not sure that the comment line will be there, but it was
for me.)
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSsmtp.telus.net
