Good evening!

I am investigating a strange monitoring phenomenon.
localhost (lo interface) is monitored on port 25 with a program called Monit.
Monit generates a very small SMTP communication.
Usually it is OK.

When the Internet-facing interface (eth0) is down - for some reason
but not DHCP - the test fails.

Of course couriertcpd binds on 127.0.0.1 only as "ADDRESS=127.0.0.1"

Could it be that Courier unbinds from localhost when eth0 is down?

Nope.

Sounds like either your entry in /etc/hosts for localhost refers to your public IP address, or your monitoring program is set up to monitor your public IP address.
