When did Minato outsmart Madara ? He got his arm cut off and was made to be a fool. Sasuke never " outsmarted" Madara either. He surprised him with his new found abilities ( which Madara couldn't have foreseen)  and then Madara rather quickly deduced the Range of Sasuke 's switcheroo ability.

His feats as a TTJ was defeating 8 gates guy without even using 90 percent of his arsenal. He didn't use limbo, he didn't use susano'o, he didn't use wood style , etc. Guy overwhelmed him with his speed , but at the same time Madara seemed to be enjoying the fight. He respected guy's abilities and guy nearly killed him. But when he fought Naruto and Sasuke he perceived them as greater threats, he saw through every one of their movies. He was blocking Naruto 's attacks with limbo, and used substitution to escape their blitz. When he came out of the kamui dimension, they couldn't stop him from casting his genjutsu, they were successfully distracted by limbo clones and meteorites. After that three eyed Madara is featless. He finally looked ready to fight Naruto and Sasuke seriously after he realized they are immune to his IT, but the fight was interrupted by plot. We haven't seen him go all out.

Madara and his clones have canonically shown the ability to switch between EMS and Rinnegan.

That said, i know naruto is rediculoously good , but there isnt enough to suggest he can solo a non- plot restricted madara who has serious killing intent.
