Why would you expect that to work?

Users collecting by pop3 or imap have a local mail client which is
capable of sending mail out by smtp and they have a requirement
to do so.

People using sqwebmail are not using a mail client but a browser.
Frequently this is because they are not at their own computer for
some reason (in a cybercafe, visiting a customer, etc.)  Because
they are not at their computer the mail client (if there even is one)
is not configured for their use and the owner of the computer probably
doesn't want them to add their details to the mail client.

Fortunately, if you're reading your mail by sqwebmail for whatever
reason you have another way of sending mail - SQWEBMAIL.  And that
is why sqwebmail does NOT open up a temporary relay.  It doesn't need
to.  It wouldn't be sensible to make it do so because if you're using
a machine that sends outgoing mail by smtp you're using a machine where
you can pick up your mail by pop or imap.

What you want is feasible but if you submitted a patch to make
sqwebmail do it my guess is that it would be ignored (or maybe
ridiculed).

Now if you mean that you can't send mail with sqwebmail, that's another
problem entirely.  Sqwebmail access the mail directories through the
filesystem.  If you can't send mail with sqwebmail then one possibility
is that you have not allowed localhost (it might be your local net
if sqwebmail is accessing the mail directories over NFS) to relay.
How you do that depends upon what you chose to do when installing the
basic qmail system.
