Thanks for the response.
Can I avoid using sendmail for outgoing mail on KMail in that way?

I just tried this again, and I get much the same error message:

I tried this; there was a large amount of output,
but the only thing that struck me was the same journalctl message again:
sendmail.service: PID file /run/sendmail.pid not readable (yet?)
after start: No such file or directory
and the following, repeated several times
