I see two approaches here:
1) Since nagios3-common package depends on default-mta | mail-transport-agent (ie. in Bionic, postfix is installed), charm-nagios could go all the way and configure the MTA. For that, we would need to have extra options to decide if we want Postfix configured in localhost-only or as a smarthost.

2) Use a different charm https://jaas.ai/search?q=postfix to configure
the MTA

The downside about the first approach is that Nagios could well be
deployed on the same unit as the landscape-server charm, and the Postfix
configuration would conflict.

For now, and since the email configuration is optional, I'm going to
mark this bug as wishlist.

Title:
  Nagios does not have an option to configure the email relay

Status in Nagios Charm:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When installing the nagios charm, we can input an admin email to
  receive emails for any alerts going on. However, the configuration of
  the email relay or of an smtp server (i.e sendmail) on the nagios unit
  must be done manually. It would be preferable to have a charm option
  that sets this automatically.
