| As you can see Sender is correct, and so is the From header. However
| the MAIL FROM value is incorrect.

Two points:

First, this traffic is not generated by Gnus (if you got that from a
buffer, you are probably using smtpmail).  There is no way to make Gnus do
what you are asking because Gnus is not involved with the transaction.  It
has already washed its hands (metaphorically speaking) of the message by
that point.

Second, while the value might be considered inappropriate, it is correct
(canonical).  This is what is supposed to be there, specifically because
you are using non-canonical mailbox information in your RFC 822 headers.
Changing it would be `illegal' (cf RFC 821: SMTP, and its descendants).
