These options are only for incoming connections. There is no specific
option for stopping the use of pipelining on outgoing connections.
You can use hosts_avoid_esmtp in the smtp transport to avoid the
use of *all* SMTP extensions, but that includes support for SIZE, AUTH,
and TLS as well as PIPELINING.
Perhaps there should be an option specifically to turn off pipelining,
as it seems to be causing problems.

The snapshot won't help; it also is concerned with incoming connections.
