Just follow the edits you mention?
The single thing you you need to learn from that page is that you want to use "mail.messagingengine.com::587" for the smarthost. Do NOT use port 465 and IGNORE everything else, including mentions of "routing drivers, otherwise you will end up in a mess. The edits I advise are all that is needed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
