report-emacs-bug uses compose-mail, whose doc string references
mail-user-agent, which defaults to sendmail-user-agent.  But sendmail.el
can be customized to do what you want; see smtpmail.el:

;; Please add these lines in your .emacs(_emacs) or use customize.
;;
;;(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) ; if you use `mail'
;;(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) ; if you are using Gnus.
;;(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "YOUR SMTP HOST")
;;(setq smtpmail-local-domain "YOUR DOMAIN NAME")
;;(setq smtpmail-sendto-domain "YOUR DOMAIN NAME")
;;(setq smtpmail-debug-info t) ; only to debug problems

;; To queue mail, set smtpmail-queue-mail to t and use
;; smtpmail-send-queued-mail to send.
