With mailutils, I'm afraid this can't be done.
What our Nix friends do is have a module (which is equivalent to a Guix
service) that accepts a "setSendmail" option [0] which, when true, adds
the a setuid msmtp binary wrapper [1].
That mixes up user-level and system-level configuration, and the only
way around is add a user-level alias wrapper for mailutils wrapper that
specifies where to find sendmail at runtime:
alias mail="mail -E'set
sendmail=\"$HOME/.guix-home/profile/bin/msmtp\"'"
Doing this to the mailutils package definition would require juggling
some options around and knowing very well how mailutils handles options,
so that the dynamic lookup of the sendmail binary doesn't break anything
else.
