*Sending* mail uses smtp, so you  set your outgoing settings in 
Kmail's Settings >> Configure Kmail >> Accounts >> Sending, using 
smtp as the protocol. 

I can't remember which files in ~/.kde/share/apps and 
~/.kde/share/apps/config the old kmail stored its settings and account 
info. Now, it is stored in a database, so it is not something you can just 
copy over - the settings importer that would normally run after 
upgrading was notoriously bad for many.
