More ideas to get this command to work:

Maybe smail needs to be marked for removal.

    # echo smail deinstall | dpkg --set-selections

Maybe equivs needs to `Conflicts:' and `Replaces:'
mail-transfer-agent, like exim, smail, sendmail etc. do.

(Is anyone reading that actually *understands* dpkg?)
