I'll answer my own question here, just for the record.

Use msmtp, which is highly configurable, for example
defining its own outgoing port.

In the .procmailrc file I only need to add:

   :0
   | /usr/local/bin/msmtp email@address.com

to forward the email with msmtp, over my own ssh
tunnel port.

Works like a charm.
Rob.
