I don't know what mailx you are using, but it's not mine.

I have three versions of mailx handy (one is "nail"), none of them have
a documented -S switch. One of them, I know the source code quite well,
and I know it doesn't have an undocumented -S switch. (It's clear that
-S just acts like the "set" command, so not hard to implement.) But
someone has rewitten the backend mailer portion in that version. Mine
just hands mail off to the system MTA, and can't speak SMTP at all.

The classic design of an MUA is that it hands mail off to a local MTA,
and then the MTA handles the network aspects, including retries if a
remote MTA can't be reached immediately. Disconnected servers with no
local MTA have changed the common case, and that version of mailx has
clearly followed.
