If you inject a stub for qmail there is no reason why ssmtp should be blocked too. Stubs are only good for the package which you specified and no others.
However, my understanding is that ssmtp would not be installed if qmail was actually there, as it would satisfy the virtual/mta dependency. Therefore, if the system thinks that qmail is installed, then ssmtp would not be installed.
Is this not how the injected stub is supposed to work? Also, should there not be an entry in the /var/cache/edb/world file after injecting?
AFAIK, no and no. Stubs probably work with /var/db and only apply to individual packages. It is a very simple functionality.
