That might be the case, but this is certainly one popular use-case, at
least going by the activity seen on
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MultipleSMTPAccounts.

Would it be better if a function were to be provided? E.g. it would be
evaluated in the buffer and return the from address?

The issue is that I am not writing using a MUA. Sometimes I just open
C-x m directly or click on an email address, without Gnus being opened.
Sure, I can hook message-setup-hook to check from and insert
X-Message-SMTP-Method, but that's something everyone has to do for
themselves, over and over again.
