I use Thunderbird for e-mail, so I have never bothered with
configuring an MTA.
I have a few lines in root's crontab to do periodic backups and I
would like to receive an e-mail when the job is completed. I have
added a MAILTO line to my crontab with my gmail address. The job
runs, the backup is created, but I do not receive any e-mail from
cron. I am assuming that I need to run dpkg-reconfigure on
exim4-config, but I don't want to mess up my e-mail that is going
through Thunderbird.
Can anyone tell me how to configure exim4-config to do this, or
provide a link that will rpovide this information?

Are you sure that your exim4 mta has not been simply denied access by
Google because it has no static ip, spf, dkim etcetera? An alternative
would be to use your isp smtp-server by configuring it as a smarthost
like in this example

I tried running "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config". I selected "Mail sent
by smarthost; no local mail" and then took all of the defaults. I then
tried to send a test e-mail using the command shown in the link you
sent. I get the response "Thunderbird 78.4.3" which is the version of
Thunderbird that I am running, but no e-mail gets through to my account.
