This is indeed a problem for those who use SmartyModule for their rendering. I got around it by modifier SmartyRenderer's render() method:

foreach ($this->resolver()->getIterator() as $resolver) {
    if ($resolver instanceof TemplatePathStack) {
        $resolver->setDefaultSuffix(".tpl");
    }
}

nice one, @jurajseffer ! I'm having the same problem myself in ZF2/Smarty Integration, that solves the problem. Thanks! But would it be possible to set the defaultsuffix on the module.config level? Im using the ZF2/Smarty Integration Module made by https://github.com/Domi-cc/SmartyModule and Im seeing this codebut the defaultSuffix variable is not working

'view_manager' => array(
        display_not_found_reason' => true,
        'display_exceptions'       => true,
        'doctype'                  => 'HTML5',
        'defaultSuffix'            => '.tpl',
        'not_found_template'       => 'error/404',
        'exception_template'       => 'error/index',
        'template_map' => array(
            'layout/layout'           => __DIR__ . '/../../Application/view/layout/layout.tpl',
            'error/404'               => __DIR__ . '/../../Application/view/error/404.phtml',
            'error/index'             => __DIR__ . '/../../Application/view/error/index.tpl',
        'application/index/index' => __DIR__ . '/../../Application/view/application/index/index.tpl',
        ),

@ebalicat I use the same module. I only just started using ZF2 and haven't figured out a way how to access the config in SmartyRenderer yet.

This was fixed with #3996.

A new option was added:

'view_manager' => array(
        display_not_found_reason' => true,
        'display_exceptions'          => true,
        'doctype'                          => 'HTML5',
        'default_template_suffix'     => 'tpl', // you can use '.tpl' here, it does not matter
        'not_found_template'          => 'error/404',
        'exception_template'          => 'error/index',
        'template_map' => array(
            'layout/layout'           => __DIR__ . '/../../Application/view/layout/layout.tpl',
            'error/404'                 => __DIR__ . '/../../Application/view/error/404.phtml',
            'error/index'               => __DIR__ . '/../../Application/view/error/index.tpl',
        'application/index/index' => __DIR__ . '/../../Application/view/application/index/index.tpl',
        ),

And if you want to refer to a template that has a different extention than the default ('tpl' in this case), you can add the extention in the template name:

    public function fooAction()
    {
        $model = new Zend\View\Model\ViewModel($data);
        $model->setTemplate('my-module/my-controller/foo.html'); // if you omit the extention, it will rely on the default (tpl) 
       return $model;
     }
