Morphology
The meaning 'written content that is obscene or sexually explicit' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'smutty' (obscene/sexually suggestive) with 'text' (a written message or content). This is a straightforward compositional noun phrase and follows common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrase smutty text comes from the old word smut, which meant dirt or soot and led to smutty meaning 'dirty'. So, a smutty text is a 'dirty' or 'sexual' message.
