I don't know if you had any more thoughts about how the SMTP module should
provide the fully qualified domain name to the connected server, but in the
meantime I have prepared a patch for you that fixes Curl_gethostname() so
that it always returns a defined output regardless of socket provider.

The code checks for a full stop (period / dot) and only copies what is
before it to the output buffer - this is essentially what the code in
Curl_ntlm_msgs.c is doing. If you see fit to push this patch then we can
tidy up the relevant code in NTLM afterwards as it does not presently break
that code.

Kind Regards

Steve
