You will need to:

* Delete exchanges of type x-federation
* Declare them again as normal exchanges of whichever type you wanted
* Set parameters for each upstream
* Set a policy to mark them as federated
* Remove the rabbit_federation section from your configuration file

In other words, you need to migrate the configuration yourself I'm afraid.
