Step 4: Validate account exists before calling get_model_config() in engine.py

- Add account validation before calling get_model_config()
- Wrap get_model_config() in try/except to handle ValueError (IntegrationSettings not configured)
- Handle other unexpected errors from get_model_config()
- Return proper error messages through _handle_error()
- Remove redundant model_from_integration code (get_model_config already handles this)
