Send email via exim4 using port 587

I have configured exim4 and am trying to send out emails using port 587 and the email is being sent but on the mail server it show connecting at port 25. I am using:

echo "Subject:Hello All" | sendmail -v  -port 587 shaheena.kazi@gmail.com


T: remote_smtp for shaheena.kazi@gmail.com
Connecting to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com [2607:f8b0:4004:c08::1a]:25 ... LOG: MAIN

(Not pasting the entire output of the log here) +++++++++++++++++++++ I wanted to check why the connection goes to port 25 as shown below---- """Connecting to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com [2607:f8b0:4004:c08::1a]:25 ... LOG: MAIN"""" I want all my email to connect on port 587 as I have requested for port 587. I have tried most of the settings shown online in the exim4 config file. But still it connects on 25. Links that I followed but no luck : https://www.fyzix.net/index.php?title=Installing_and_Configuring_Exim4_for_Gmail_SMTP_Relay and https://logs.paulooi.com/enable-smtp-port-587-on-exim.php Also, any mail server I use... it connects to port 25.. Could anyone help me here ?
