Generally, you do not control the DNS for a foreign mailserver, so
setting an MX record for that domain will not do anything...
Conversly the foreign mailserver must accept mail from the server.
You can check the foreign mailserver nameservers using 'dig'

All you should have to do is enter the foreign mailserver
host.domain.tld in the GUI.
