What is the right syntax to do that?
Context for dialing a trunk line is trunkint
Peter has the phone number 011-234-5678
How to set it up as a speed dial number? Below are all info you may need:

The phone 601 (= Monitor extension) is a Sip phone,

[general]
context=default            ; Default context for incoming calls

[601]
type=friend
username=601
secret=dont+tell+you
canreinvite=no
host=dynamic
dtmfmode=rfc2833
mailbox=601 at other
nat=yes
callgroup=1
pickupgroup=1
callerid="Ronald Hotline",<601>
qualify=1000


extensions.conf
[default]
...
include => trunkint
...

[trunkint]
;
; International long distance through trunk
;     .....  other lines deleted
exten => _9011Z.,107,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:1}@sip-provider)
exten => _9011Z.,108,hangup
