You don't, you tell it to use sendmail

From make.conf.example:

mailserver: smtp server that should be used to deliver the mail
(defaults to localhost) alternatively this can also be a the path to a
sendmail binary if you don't want to use smtp 

Try PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="you@home /usr/sbin/sendmail"

This will use ssmtp's sendmail, which you already have working.
