Correct...

Ha! That works! (Well sort of)...
I used the command:
cat message | /usr/bin/msmtp --host=smtp.blueyonder.co.uk -f
m...@mydomian.org f...@myotherdomain.eu (where myotherdomain.eu has a
catchall redirect the sends mail to m...@mydomain.com)

The mail came through with a "From" (and return) address of
SRS0=yLoOyU=mydomain.org=m...@myotherdomain.eu

Not quite sure how those strings came about, but at least mail gets
through.

So the question:
What settings should I be using?

On my normal mail client (Evolution) I have (as instructed by
blueyonder) got SSL on, delivering to port 465, with no authentication.
I can send mail as m...@mydomain.org, or as
misc.li...@blueyonder.etc.etc. as I am doing now.

Thanks again...

Progress at last.
