That changes the port the relay agent uses - but **NOT** the port it assumes the server is using. Checking the man page I see nothing to suggest it can talk to a server via a non-standard port - you could try "nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:77" for server IP, but I suspect that's not implemented.

If not, I imagine it might be "relatively" simple to edit the code and hard code a different server port to use.
