I know this is a specialty script only run by certain people, but on
the whole, I think the existence of a working 'sendmail -t' is more
common than the existence of a working SMTP server listening on
localhost.
There is the question of the path. sendmail usually lives in /usr/sbin
these days, but 15 years ago it was in /usr/lib, and neither is in the
default path. Anyway, I'd think /usr/sbin/sendmail is still more
common than 127.0.0.1 port 25.

Possibly. We could give both a try by attempting to use smtplib and
then falling back to sendmail in the event that doesn't work.
