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.

If my response solves your problem, the best way to thank me is to not
send an "it worked, thanks" follow-up. If you must respond, please put
"It worked, thanks" in the "Subject" so I can delete these quickly.
