I don't believe there's an option to send only alerts to a separate
log file. I suppose you could not set any alerts (or suppress all
alerts) and parse the monit log file for interesting entries, but
that seems like a lot of duplicated effort as there will likely be
lots of entries you don't want to be notified about.

monit doesn't require any mail software on the system it's running
on. A network accessible mail server anywhere will do fine. It can
also send to an alternate port if you like to firewall outgoing
connections to port 25.
# monitrc
...
set mailserver smtp.example.com # primary, default to port 25
smtp2.example.net port 11125 # fallback if
primary unavailable
