Using Kontact 4.14.2, I could configure this to always work correctly. Like I
mentioned before, the settings are a bit confusing but if you configure them
correctly, you can have your mails sent automatically through the correct
account. 

If you want you email addresses to be retrieved and sent separately in KMail,
you will need the following for each email address:
1. An Identity for that email address (e.g. John Doe)
2. A receiving Account for that email address (e.g. IMAP/POP3/etc.)
3. A sending Account for that email address (e.g. SMTP)

You then need to configure them as follows:
1. In the Identity's settings, you need to configure 2 things (on the Advanced
tab):
a. Configure the sent-mail folder to the Sent folder in your account
b. Fill in the Outgoing Account of the Identity to the sending Account (SMTP
server) for that email address
2. In the receiving Account's settings, you need to configure the correct
Identity to use for that email address

The effects of these settings are as follows:
1a. Causes your sent mail to be stored in the Sent folder on the email server
and therefore also shown under that account (and not in the Local Folders)
1b. Causes the mail that is configured for a specific Identity to be sent with
that specific sending Account (SMTP server)
2. Causes mails created from a specific Account (e.g. replies to a mail from
that Account) to automatically use that Identity. This fills in the Identity on
that mail, which also fills in the "From:" field on the mail, but without
configuring 1b it will still send mails with the default sending Account (SMTP
server). 

Configuration step 1b was the last part that was missing since the last time I
tried this. Now it works correctly every time.
