Nothing built-in.

You'd have to craft something involving remembering what interface you last
tried, and preferring it after a defer. That probably requires using an
event to write a DB entry on defer.

Or set up a static mapping from destination (host or domain) to
interface.

Or, stop trying to be clever with these multiple interfaces.
