I did this again (dpgk-reconfigure postfix, not dpkg --reconfigure),
this is from tail /var/log/mail.err

It's the only message I'm getting now.
I don't know where the unexpectec command-line argument is.
There is no /etc/postfix/smtpd
but, rather postfix/sasl/smtpd
and I've checked that against the tutorial, and it looks correct.
Should there be such a file in /etc/postfix/smtpd
not just in /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd
?

I think that was from last night, when, for some reason, there was a stray space in there:
reject _unauth_destination (should have been without that space).

the fatal unexpected command-line arg...but where is that?
also, tail /var/log/mail.info shows
