If you want to install postfix during setup, you have to use the manual
package selection option. 
If you want to go with postfix, dont install the "mail server" template
as that only installs full exim.
What I usually do is install with only the basic setup so that it
installs exim-minimum and install postfix after the initial setup is
done.
