My guess is that in the interest of the "20-minute" tag, this is just
one of the things that never got a knob or a button. I could
understand this completely, given that the long-broken BindToIP
feature only appears in KB articles telling you how to shut it off. :)
Again, to the best of my recollection, MS SMTP can't do this, either,
for one reference.

You wouldn't have to do that, really. You could just swap the primary
with one of the secondaries at the OS level and restart the IMail
services.
Consider this: you're a lot better off than you would be if BindToIP
were not reversible (or if its reversibility were not documented),
since that feature was a tinderbox for getting blocked based on
non-matching DNS info, regardless of what mail'd been transmitted. The
current behavior is only a problem if you are mistakenly caught, which
should be very rare as long as you're scanning outgoing mail, running
Declude Hijack, etc.
