I think esmtp handles this fine with ~/.esmtprc (msmtp and ssmtp are similar IIRC), so it's not impossible to get this without reimplementing SMTP support in every client ever.

But apps can't depend on esmtp being installed.

Well, they can. They can't depend on it being *configured* properly. I don't see a reason that, say KMail, couldn't require esmtp and store SMTP settings in ~/.esmtprc rather than its own configuration file somewhere else.

And if the system has postfix installed as /usr/bin/sendmail?

If you configure esmtp directly, call it directly as well?
