After I finally got it working (somehow), here are some thoughts. It
seems that:

1) I shouldn't use proxy sip:sip.smartvoip.com or sip.smartvoip.com <---
this results in unconditional inability to connect to any host


2) having the number ending with @smartvoip.com results in security check 
failure
... this is the reliable reason this stupid message appears! It's not a problem 
with Ekiga. It's just that given provider will not route to the numbers which 
are not within its own network.

3) having sip: in the phone number also results in the inability to connect
 (unreliable?)

4) having just the number +xx... results in inability to connect
 (unreliable?)

The number should be in the format of +xx...@sip.smartvoip.com or
00xx...@sip.smartvoip.com . Both work for me.

It seems, that when a connection can not be established the best
strategy is to re-register the account and try again. It might be that
my testing was unreliable, because the provided has some kind on limits
on the number of unsuccessful attempts and few failed attempts make the
subsequent correct attempts to fail.

Very strange. I had a similar kind of issues with ekiga 2.x, but after
the first round of problems all subsequent starts very perfectly fine.
Let's see if it gonna work tomorrow.
