Yes - you are right. I changed the German tutorials at https://support.mailbox.org/knowledge-base/articles/tor-service and replaced the name with fingerprint of the Tor node.
But have a look at Tor docs: https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en
For example, if you always want connections to www.example.com to exit via torserver (where torserver is the nickname of the server), use "MapAddress www.example.com www.example.com.torserver.exit".
It is not suggested, that fingerprints are possible and more secure. May be, somebody can update the Tor docs too.
