Well, ymmv, but assuming the mailer parses the uri the same way HTTP does,
You would have to percent encode the character with special meanings: So, it
would be more like this:

        user=user%3Aname%40bsp.invalid
        pass=pass_with_%3A_colon%40domain
        mailserver=mailserver
        port=port

Yeilding:

        PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI=\
            "bar@example.invalid
user%3Aname%40bsp.invalid:pass_with_%3A_colon%40domain@mailserver:port"

(Line break added to discourage wrapping)
