Indeed, the third binary I can find [1] that adds an alternative to mail is https://sources.debian.org/src/nmh/1.7.1-7/debian/nmh.postinst/?hl=17#L17 >> + use <command>mail</command> from <systemitem >> + role="package">mailutils</systemitem>) just before the release >> + of bullseye broke this functionality for systems that have >> + <command>mail</command> provided by <systemitem >> + role="package">bsd-mailx</systemitem>.
