The documented smtp(8) nexthop syntax is:
http://www.postfix.org/smtp.8.html
SMTP DESTINATION SYNTAX
SMTP destinations have the following form:
...
[address]:port
Connect to the host at the specified address, and
connect to the specified port (default: smtp). An
IPv6 address must be formatted as [ipv6:address].
If this is not the case, perhaps you are reporting a bug, rather
than a missing feature?
