Apparently in all my fiddling, having changed the line in
exim4.conf.template from satellite to internet, It has corrected
update-exim4.conf.conf so that it reads:

dc_eximconfig_configtype='smarthost'
dc_other_hostnames=''
dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1 ; ::1'
dc_readhost=''
dc_relay_domains=''
dc_minimaldns='false'
dc_relay_nets=''
dc_smarthost='mail.messagingengine.com::587'
CFILEMODE='644'
dc_use_split_config='false'
dc_hide_mailname='false'
dc_mailname_in_oh='true'
dc_localdelivery='mail_spool'

-------       -------       ---=---       -------       ------- 

At any rate what you suggested was really all that was necessary.

It works just fine now.

Thanks for cutting thru all the mess I posted and having the patience
to stay with it.

That is such an easy configuration ... I think I'll switch my other
hosts to exim4 too.
