filename.tmp to filename.xml (as we are only uploading xml-files).
Currently I have solved this by a bash script, which uploads and the  
renames every file one by one. This causes the opening of a  
connection for every file we wish to transfer though, at least as  
far as I know.

I don't think it's possible inside lftp, but it's easy enough to pipe  
your command list from bash to a single invocation of lftp, which then  
execute all the commands in a single session:

for i in *.xml; do \
t="${i%.*}".tmp; \
echo put \'"$i"\' -o \'"$t"\' '&&' mv \'"$t"\' \'"$i"\'; done \
| lftp your-server-here
