Have you tried to update config array on the fly?

Solution

You could update mail.php with something like:

'host' => Config::get('mail.sender.host'),
'user' => Config::get('mail.sender.user'),

etc...

If you need to update the config values at runtime you can do it with:

Config::set('mail.sender.host', 'new value');

I use something different so that I can keep other emails configurations apart from default (app/config/mail.php).

I keep the new configuration at a place something like app/email/invoice_mail.php (with different username and password) and when I want to use that configuration, I do something like this :

$transport = Mail::getSwiftMailer()->getTransport();

Mail::alwaysFrom(Config::get('email/invoice_mail.from.address'), Config::get('email/invoice_mail.from.name'));

$transport->setUsername(Config::get('email/invoice_mail.username'));

$transport->setPassword(Config::get('email/invoice_mail.password'));

Mail::send(......);

This way I can more configurations. But this works only when the default driver is also 'smtp' as the transport is registered while booting up.
