Good grief! He’s acting out all right. Put him on the porch after his neuter with much less litter in his pan and pee pads for easy clean up. You might still need the broom and dustpan though. He’s just confused and reacting right now but trust me, his behavior will improve and you’ll be able to let him outside again eventually.
I went through this with a stray, intact male cat last year and he is now the most docile blob of fur you could imagine. He was crazy initially and would spray if he came in, even after I had him neutered. But fast forward a few months and he’s a huge sweet baby-man who goes in and out and never causes a problem with anything anymore. He even mothered the two stray kittens I later took in.
Bottom line: Give Midnight a chance. Exercise undue patience. He is a hostage to his hormones right now. He will come around. (And I’m fussing now, but he should have been neutered a few weeks ago.) He’ll come out the other side beautifully in a couple of months!
