Well, machine1 is also no issue. Just don't run Dovecot on it. Run an
SMTP server only, which is configured to support ASMTP.

For machine2, I am not sure what you want to achieve with the LDA. Is 
this where the mailboxes will be located?

What are your plans on how the mailboxes are going to be accessed?
