You need to setup a new account and as part of the config process you
set the Sending type to be "Sendmail" - unfortunately you don't seem to
be able to change the sending type after an account is configured.   The
account can have "None" as the receiving type so you don't have to
configure it to retrieve mail.

But first make sure that sendmail/msmtp/whatever is working properly
before trying to use it with Evolution.
