That is probably pretty easy depending on your preferred mail server.
Make your mail server listen to <internal>::1 only instead of ::

It will then automatically accept connections on that address and use
it for outbound, too, because it does not have a choice.

Add IP4c and loopback of course.

E.g. for Sendmail:
