I'll answer my own question here, just for the record.
Use msmtp, which is highly configurable, for example
defining its own outgoing port.
In the .procmailrc file I only need to add:
:0
| /usr/local/bin/msmtp [EMAIL PROTECTED]
to forward the email with msmtp, over my own ssh
tunnel port.
Works like a charm.
Rob.
