I like the guide, but there are a couple of things I'd want to include in it.
Sending to authenticated smarthost, with TLS (I did not set
AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS = 1 as they suggest), and I think
there's a misspelling in 'sudo dpkg-reconfiugre exim4-configp' -- the
package to reconfiugre should be 'exim4-config':

More on sending email via authentication, and allowing for sending to
an alternate port (such as the mail submission port on port 587):

More of the same, but also covers sending a test email over TLS
using 'swaks':
