LEMONADE's URLAUTH + CATENATE extensions will help with this. Everything else is also possible to do in more standard (although maybe more complex) ways except one: Some stupid networks block also submission port, so it's not possible to send outgoing mails with either port smtp/25 or submission/587 (or probably also ssmtp/465).
