It should not. Nothing here replaces wp_mail() — every plugin on the site keeps calling the same function, and this configures the mailer that function already uses. There is no second code path.
If you run another SMTP plugin as well, switch one of them off. Two plugins both configuring the same mailer is the one situation where the result depends on which loads last.
