The "smile" advice is a bit misleading I think. The best way to think of the embouchure is to have firm support ALL AROUND the mouthpiece. So the area between your lower lip and chin should be firm. And so should the area to the left and right of your lips as well as the area above your upper lip.
Perhaps think of your lips as a rubberband applying pressure all around rather than just up and down. To engage your cheek muscles just think about the feeling you have trying to get some resistant substance through a straw, and just apply this blowing out instead.
And of course the other key piece to the sound is to ensure that you are generating a steady, supported stream of air. That will yield a very full sound.
