However, if I remove the smtp username or password, it will return an error indicating it could not reach the remote server. So the Pear::IsError function seems to only reflect if the intended server was accessible… and not if the intended server accepted the outgoing email for delivery.

I'd suggest putting a check here to see if $smtp is a PEAR::Error
object as well:
if (PEAR::isError($smtp)) {
echo ("<p>" . $smtp->getMessage() . "</p>");
// die or return or skip the next part, whatever
} else {
