Pat's docs are authoritative for Belchertown and the MQTT stuff looks ok to me. Just follow that.
https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/mqtt has Tom's instructions for installing the MQTT extension. You can check it at least minimally by running "weectl extension list" and it should show up in the list of installed extensions. Your config file stuff for weewx that you posted looked ok to me.
