Acutally, you are correct in regard to Tbirds mechanism of 
having outgoing servers listed separately in the GUI.

However, you can easily select each mailaccount's outgoing 
server within the account information.

So while it might be slow (I cannot comment on this one, 
since I do not find it slow, nor do I know anything about 
Alpine), it is very easy to setup.
