Interesting, this has worked a few days agon (when the current
version was uploaded) but now it fails for me too (in a sid
cowbuilder chroot).

I think I found the problem:
* SOAP::Transport::MAILTO uses MIME::Lite
* libmime-lite-perl was updated after soap-lite, and it contains the
  following change:
  "Move nullmailer|mail-transport-agent from Depends to Recommends;
  an MTA is not necessary ..."
* If I add nullmailer|mail-transport-agent to soap-lite's build
  dependencies the test passes.
* Another possibility that works is removing libmime-lite-perl from
  the build dependencies, then the mail feature is not tested and the
  tests pass.

As libmime-lite-perl is also only in Suggests: (and not in Depends:)
I think the second option is the better one.
I've committed the fix to svn, if someone prefers a different
solution feel free to revert/change.

Cheers,
gregor
