Oh, I see.

Yes, that's possible and I'll add it to the to-do-list. In the meantime 
here is how you can add (and keep) it to your dynamically generated 
Postfix configuration:

Edit /usr/sausalito/bin/custom-postfix-confgen.sh and add the following 
line at the end of it:

postconf -e 'relayhost = [smtp-relay.sendinblue.com]:587'

Save the changes and restart Postfix:

systemctl restart postfix

Then check if Postfix's main.cf now has the desired changes. It should.

/usr/sausalito/bin/custom-postfix-confgen.sh was specifically created 
for cases like this where we need to add something to the Postfix 
configuration that otherwise would be overridden by the GUI.

That works as well. :p
