You don't have to. You can just install the new MTA, which will
cause dpkg to remove the old one. You can then optionally purge the
configuration files for the old one. Multiple MTA's can't co-exist on one
machine, and they all have rules to conflict with and replace each other.
Why are you concerned, though? You might as well remove the old one
first. It's not going to make any difference if you install/remove with
one command or not.
