I would not expect the leading zero to be removed.
To confirm either way, do this: 
 "exten => _07892111XXX,1,NoOp(Number to dial is: ${EXTEN})"

If you need to add a zero which I doubt you do, you could do this:
exten => _07892111XXX,1,Dial(Zap/37/0${EXTEN}).


Also, I would try commenting these out of the zapata.conf file:

ss7_internationalprefix = 00
ss7_nationalprefix = 0

Make them be:
;ss7_internationalprefix = 00
;ss7_nationalprefix = 0

Currently you have everything in group 1.

Create a new group like this

group = 2
channel = 37-50

Than to dial starting at 37:
exten => _07892111XXX,1,Dial(Zap/g2/${EXTEN})

The little g means start at the bottom of the group.
The big G means start at the top. If I recall, an R means random, but
check documentation to be sure.

The number following the g is the group number to dial from.

Take a look at your Dial options. "show application dial"
I think adding the m will tell it to play music.

exten => _07892111XXX,1,Dial(Zap/37/0${EXTEN},60,m)
