See qmail-control(5) and qmail-remote(8).

smtproutes is read by qmail-remote not qmail-send. qmail-remote
doesn't require a signal since a new instance is started for each
delivery. If smtproutes is not working, something else is wrong.

Check the syntax of the file (it is described in qmail-remote man
page). You may need to use wild cards to handle all instances for that
domain name. If that's all fine, then perhaps there's a problem on the
remote host.
