Exim or Postfix will both act as the local message queue for you, unlike
msmtp which blocks while it talks to the upstream remote mail server.
It's not so much Sup's blocking as msmtp's blocking here which is the
problem, IME -- talking to the local MTA is wicked fast, and you can set
your local MTA to use your upstream remote mail server as its smarthost
-- and there's no reason to add a message queue to Sup if your MTA can
handle it.  

Given Exim's recent security troubles I'd recommend Postfix.
