I'm still confused as to why gmail is in the picture at

update-exim4.conf.conf (via grep -iRe 'gmail\|google' *)
Surely the only affect that
file has is on execution of dpkg-reconfigure, no?

If you did set up GMail for smarthost, and are having
trouble with that, this might help:

I say this because you seem to have added "a" line to
passwd.client, while you may need 3. But if this is
not the issue, then I don't get your question correctly.
