If you have access to sendmail.cf on your box, you can probably do it
there...

Or, put it this way:

On MY box at home, I had to do this so the silly cable-modem provider
wouldn't block my outdoing emails, and I'm NOT a Sendmail expert by
any stretch of the imagination.

In this case, I wanted ALL outgoing email to go to a different port,
which my web/mail host has open for this very purpose.

I dunno how tricky it would be to make it only happen for specific
sender/recipient combinations etc...
