Not without source code changes:

    src/smtp/smtp_connect.c:smtp_connect_addr()
        ...
        if (bind(sock, res0->ai_addr, res0->ai_addrlen) < 0)
            msg_warn("%s: bind %s: %m", myname, bind_addr);

so failure to bind the requested address is logged, but is not fatal.
Why does the address get de-configured? You should be able to bind
it provided the interface is administratively up, even if it is not
working.
