If one was role playing, then smilies or emoticons would not be acceptable, except ((out of character)). That's how I learned it.
If one was chatting in forums, however, I wouldn't consider smilies or emoticons "txt tlk" unless they were overused.

Emoticons add personality to what one is saying, and I'm not trying to squint and decide what their real-life English equivalent is since the expressions speak for themselves.
So no, I do not consider them text talk.
However....
...facing a wall of them with a few words in the middle in a blatant display of overexpression is pretty awful in my opinion.
