With a bit of searching I found couple of old stacks for smtp but I don't think they will support TLS connections.
I think they are using socket commands so maybe they could be modified to use 'secure socket'?

Another option maybe to use an email service that has a REST API.

Couple of examples (I haven't tried these myself):

https://www.mailjet.com/email-api/

GMail also has an API

For the OP's use-case, this sounds like the most viable option. The first one (fapimail) was .01/per mail...if it is just debugging emails then it should just be a few cents a month...or at least should decrease as the app is improved.

I would avoid Gmail for this sort of thing as google is notorious for deprecating services or abruptly changing them (I am currently having to re-write a bunch of code for several websites that used Google Maps)
