Sorry, here's a correction. If you use Emacs's message-mode for
composing mail:

    (setq message-send-mail-function 'message-smtpmail-send-it)

If you use mail-mode instead:

    (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)

Emacs's default mail user agent can be configured with variable
mail-user-agent. I also suggest reading the documentation of all the
above variables. For example: C-h v message-send-mail-function RET
