This is equivalent to working with a UART on an RS485 bus. The serial buffer empty interrupt just tells you that the buffer is ready for another character. The problem is that it's the wrong time to put the RS485 bus back to receive mode.
The transmit shift register empty status is what is needed in the case of serial transmissions. You will probably have to dive deep into the code or select a different SMTP package.
