Actually, I feel like there should be a way to get Emacs to use
a more useful default by detecting those situations and using
the mail application's config.
I know that EMacro tries to do such things (typically things like
trying to parse .netscape/prefs.js) and while most of it is rather
ad-hoc&ugly I suspect that there's a way to "do it right" using
the registry (on W32) or things like that.

These are very badly configured machines.
Complain to whoever is responsible for such a brain dead behavior.
A missing sendmail or a sendmail that returns a particular error
could be a useful hint to convince Emacs to automatically try the
smtpmail package.
