I've seen it with sendmail, postfix, and exim, but that was
several years ago. I cannot provide more recent data on such
large installations, unfortunately.
On a multi-user machine, if mail is totally broken, the sysadmins
will get a bug report. We can expect that mail on such machines
more or less works.
For modern, individual installations, I can tell you that for
GNU/Linux systems like Ubuntu, there typically won't be an MTA
installed.
It should be easy to determine that no MTA is installed.
If there is an MTA installed, I suspect that it won't
be configured usefully - I'm not sure that there's a clear line
between `not configured' and `configured wrong' in many of these
cases.
Even though you aren't sure there is a clear line,
we might find one if we look.
