Anyone interested in a testing environment for integrating Newton+Neutron with VMWare ESXi 6.5 in a basic way (with no support for internal networks, for example when there is no NSX to integrate Neutron with) please follow this steps:

Follow Newton's official guide here: http://docs.openstack.org/newton/config-reference/compute/hypervisor-vmware.html and/or Jose Rigueras's guide here: https://gist.github.com/jriguera/272518633da0ba9edff1

[hack] Restore some of the Liberty's code which allowed more than OVS or DVS as VIF types, here:

...  
else:
    network_id = vif['network']['bridge']
    network_ref = network_util.get_network_with_the_name(session,network_id, cluster)
    # reason = _('vif type %s not supported') % vif['type']
    # raise exception.InvalidInput(reason=reason)
return network_ref 
...

Enjoy.
