Monolog email not received: how to debug

Exception email sent by Monolog at a shared host are not received when using a cloud host. Host is an Azure Ubuntu 16 VM. sendmail is installed on the VM and test emails are received. parameters.yml at the VM contain the same mailer_... parameters as at the shared host.

There are no entries related to email in the prod log when a CRITICAL: Uncaught PHP Exception Exception exception is forced. The custom exception page is displayed on the error.

config_prod.yml includes:

monolog:
    handlers:
        mail:
            type:         fingers_crossed
            action_level: critical
            handler:      deduplicated
        deduplicated:
            type:    deduplication
            handler: swift
        swift:
            type:       swift_mailer
            from_email: '[email protected]'
            to_email:   %mailer_user%
            subject:    'An Error Occurred!'
            level:      debug
            formatter:  monolog.formatter.html
            content_type: text/html

Edit: Using the FOSUserBundle password reset mechanism to generate emails I get prod log entries that may be significant. With the username & password in parameters.yml for mailer_..., the reset process yields:

CRITICAL: Uncaught PHP Exception Swift_TransportException: "Failed to authenticate on SMTP server with username...

If there are no entries for mailer... the error is:

Expected response code 250 but got code "530", with message "530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first

yet I've found no mention of sendmail configuration of TLS, or requiring authentication. If I did, I say it's not required.

The best I can figure is that sendmail by itself was insufficient, or my ability to work with it was even more insufficient. So I installed postfix on top, added no configuration to postfix, rebooted, and now exception emails are sent. (And received, once my email 'learned' that they weren't spam!)
