HomeMTA value for the SMTP connector for Internet Mail in Exchange 2016

What value should be in the homeMTA attribute, for the "CN=<SMTP connector>" in Exchange 2016?

After installing Exchange 2016 alongside 2010, I get the error in the Event Log:

Process edgetransport.exe (Transport) (PID=14196). Object [CN=SMTP Connector for Internet Mail,CN=Connections,CN=First Routing Group,CN=Routing Groups,CN=xxxx,CN=Administrative Groups,CN=xxxx,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=bsn,DC=intra]. Property [HomeMtaServerId] is set to value [xxxx/Configuration/Deleted Objects/Microsoft MTA DEL:b8d7cc31-b55e-4465-b8c1-4a5a69cb6429], it is pointing to the Deleted Objects container in Active Directory. This property should be fixed as soon as possible.

I read this can be cleared, but if i do this in ADSI edit I get an error saying the required attribute is mising.

I think the homeMTA has to be the CN of the new Exchange 2016 server, is that correct?

    Is this connector still valid? "SMTP Connector for Internet Mail"

    You can set to a valid server if so:
