Comment:

 It's best to rely on mail() by default, but other MTAs can be used if
 desired.

 There's a way to handle this by leveraging the do_action_ref_array -- the
 phpmailer object can be passed to a callback and modified completely.

 There's a plugin called WP Mail SMTP that handles this for example.

 Re-reading the ticket, I don't object to #2.
