So to answer the original question -- there isn't a SMTP-speaking alert that's distributed with Mon. The parts to change in mail.alert would be those which invoke '/usr/lib/sendmail' and write the alert out to the consequent filehandle. It would be pretty straightforward to use Net::SMTP here instead. That's an external module dependency (libnet) but it's a pretty common module and has less overhead than the full-fledged Mail::Internet distribution (part of MailTools)
