I just went ahead before your answers showed up, editing three things.
password.client (adding my creds )
exim4.conf.template  ( changed satellite to internet)
update-exim4.conf.conf  (dc_smarthost mail.messagingengine.com::587)

And it worked... Finally I'll leave you alone.

It is really hard to just break thru all the lingo and information in
the exim man pages to arrive at 3 small edits to make it all work.

Thank you sir for your time and patience.
