Are you sure you don't need ESMTP AUTH?

Nope, mail is special: it does not use the MU configuration framework
(by the way, this fact is emphasized the docs). Instead it uses its
own configuration file (/etc/mailrc - as site-wide, and
~/.mailrc as per-user one). It's syntax is different and matches
that of the POSIX mailx utility (again, it is fully described in the
docs). E.g. to set the default mailer you need to add the following to
your ~/.mailrc:
set sendmail "smtp://whatever.it.is"
