Look at the order of config lines there.
You have, effectively,
http {
server {
access_log /tmp/out.log main;
}
log_format main '$remote_addr $request';
}
and nginx complains that "main" is not defined at the "access_log" line.

If you put the "log_format" line before the "server" block (i.e., before
the appropriate "include" line), nginx will probably be happier.
Arguably, since "log_format" is at http-level only, and you can't repeat
"name", nginx *could* be able to handle things out of order. But right
now it doesn't, so the quick fix is to re-order things yourself.
