You need to use connection marking as well.  --l7proto bittorrent will 
only recognize the first packet in a bittorrent stream, you need to save 
a mark on the whole tcp connection, and restore the mark for all future 
packets if you want the entire connection to be classified.

iptables -t mangle -A lay7 -p tcp -j CONNMARK --restore-mark
iptables -t mangle -A lay7 -m layer7 --l7proto bittorrent -j MARK --set-mark 1
iptables -t mangle -A lay7 -o eth1 -m mark --mark 1 -j CLASSIFY --set-class 2:2
iptables -t mangle -A lay7 -m layer7 --l7proto smtp -j MARK --set-mark 2
iptables -t mangle -A lay7 -o eth1 -m mark --mark 2 -j CLASSIFY --set-class 2:3
iptables -t mangle -A lay7 -p tcp -m mark ! --mark 0 -j CONNMARK --save-mark


If you're marking ever gets more complex, it might take a little more work ( -j accepts for matching already classified connections after the --restore-mark) but the above should help get the full bittorrent connection classified, not just the first packet.
