Is there something particular about your requirements that precludes
using the MTA installed on the system (sendmail or postfix most
likely), configured to use the remote SMTP server?

With either MTA, it's not much more than adding a line in the config
file to do this (relayhost in the case of postfix and SMART_HOST,
IIRC, in the case of sendmail).
