Nagios' only interface to send mail is the notification commands you define.
If you use the example notification commands (which use /bin/mail I believe)
then of course your machine needs to be able to successfully send mail.  If
you want to have those notifications go out directly as SMTP, bypassing use of
a local MUA, then you'll probably have to write something to replace those
default notification commands.

To answer your qestion directory.. no, there is no way to configure an SMTP
server in Nagios, since Nagios itself has no idea about SMTP.  It's all in the
notification commands.
