Use django-webtest instead of the built in client

The build in client is not suitable for smoke testing.

Actually I'm not sure about it. Django now uses WSGI when you use the LiveServerTestCase.
Maybe you can still borrow some ideas like form smoke testing.

What's wrong with the built-in client? What features are lacking that you'd want from an external library?

First of all, there's no support for the patch HTTP method. DRF's APIClient might be enough for me at the moment.
I can think of other usecases but not right now.
