Fetchmail delivers mail to the local MTA, sendmail in my case.

Again, fetchmail requires one, but there's no special configuration

Bingo.  In fact for $WORK, I established multiple outgoing SMTP servers.  The 
trick is to make sure that your Kmail Identity automatically stores sent-mail 
on the "server", otherwise you're back into Akonadai storage, etc.
