My first thought - how about RSET or equivalent?
This is used far more often than may be thought to
clear down a SMTP connection to sync states of

A MESSAGE command should always start from scratch
and implicitely include a RESET.

As an exception, the TLS state might remain unchanged until
a new STARTTLS command was issued.

And maybe successful authentications (SASL...) could stay
alive and collected till the end of the connections. But since
this is a matter of extensions it is not to be defined in the 
protocol itself. 

But I'll keep that in mind and think about it...
