Ah, a kindred spirit. As an older 'techy' I went through an MQTT setup a couple of years ago with IOT devices but of course because everything is working ok, I forgot how to set it up.
It sounds like you are on your way but if you would like like on-line references I used, let me know. The device I'm using doesn't have access to my saved bookmarks.
Generally, the Mosquitto broker works great.

A couple of comments on MQTT and IOT in relation to using Python on RPI 3B+ and uPython on PICO
- I have occasional problems using .local naming. For example wethCAM.local isn't always found. Alternative is to use static IP addresses.
- The MQTT modules will be different between RPI and PICO due to size limitations on PICO.
- I had to process both error catches and checks to ensure any connectivity to the MQTT. I can provide examples.
- I found it useful to write small Python programs to listen to subscribe to a queue to show activity. Also wrote publish programs to generate test data.
