Thanks to brian_d_foy, we've got the final solution: a patch to Net::SMTP. Hopefully this will be applied to CPAN in the next few days. Using this patch, you no longer have to declare a LocalPort or LocalAddr. Instead you set 'Reuse => 1'.

$objst->send(
              'SMTP',
      ssl       => 1,
      Host      => $RemoteHost,
      Port      => $RemotePort,
      Proto     => 'tcp',
      username  => $username,
      password  => $password,
      Debug     => 1,
      Reuse     => 1,
);

Here's the patch:

# Patch to Net::SMTP

BEGIN {
use Net::SMTP;

no warnings 'redefine';

*Net::SMTP::new = sub
{
print "In my Net::SMTP::new...\n";

package Net::SMTP;
use Net::Config;
use Net::Cmd;
my $self = shift;
 my $type = ref($self) || $self;
 my ($host,%arg);
 if (@_ % 2) {
   $host = shift ;
   %arg  = @_;
 } else {
   %arg = @_;
   $host=delete $arg{Host};
 }
my $hosts = defined $host ? $host : $NetConfig{smtp_hosts};
 my $obj;

 my $h;
 foreach $h (@{ref($hosts) ? $hosts : [ $hosts ]})
  {
   $obj = $type->SUPER::new(PeerAddr => ($host = $h), 
                PeerPort => $arg{Port} || 'smtp(25)',
                $arg{LocalAddr} ? ( LocalAddr => $arg{LocalAddr} ) : (
+),
                $arg{LocalPort} ? ( LocalPort => $arg{LocalPort} ) : (
+),
                Proto    => 'tcp',
                Timeout  => defined $arg{Timeout}
                        ? $arg{Timeout}
                        : 120
               );
          
  last if $obj;
  }

 return undef
    unless defined $obj;

 $obj->autoflush(1);

 $obj->debug(exists $arg{Debug} ? $arg{Debug} : undef);

 unless ($obj->response() == CMD_OK)
  {
   $obj->close();
   return undef;
  }

 ${*$obj}{'net_smtp_exact_addr'} = $arg{ExactAddresses};  ${*$obj}{'ne
+t_smtp_host'} = $host;

 (${*$obj}{'net_smtp_banner'}) = $obj->message;
 (${*$obj}{'net_smtp_domain'}) = $obj->message =~ /\A\s*(\S+)/;

 unless($obj->hello($arg{Hello} || ""))
  {
   $obj->close();
   return undef;
  }

 $obj;
}
