  With the help of iionly I've developed a plugin that works well with Amazon ses, for elgg 2.3.14
  All the relevant code is in start.php (below). Also, you need to install the appropriate Amazon AWS sdk.
  Hope it help you.
  <?php
  require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/Amazon-AWS-SDK/aws-autoloader.php');
  use Aws\Ses\SesClient;
  use Aws\Ses\Exception\SesException;
  
  elgg_register_event_handler('init', 'system', 'amazon_ses_init');
  
  function amazon_ses_init() {
  elgg_register_plugin_hook_handler('email', 'system', 'amazon_ses_send_email');
  }
  
  function amazon_ses_send_email($hook, $type, $returnvalue, $params) {
  if (!is_array($returnvalue) || !is_array($returnvalue['params'])) {
  return;
  }
  
  $to_address = '';
  $contact = $returnvalue['to'];
  $containsName = preg_match('/<(.*)>/', $contact, $matches) == 1;
  if ($containsName) {
  $to_address = $matches[1];
  } else {
  $to_address = $contact;
  }
  
  if (!$to_address) {
  return $returnvalue;
  }
  
  $users = get_user_by_email($to_address);
  $recipient = $users[0];
  
  if (!($recipient instanceof ElggUser)) {
  return $returnvalue;
  }
  
  $subject = $returnvalue['subject'];
  $from = $returnvalue['from'];
  
  $site_url = elgg_get_site_url();
  $notification_settings_url = $site_url . '/notifications/personal/' . $recipient->username;
  $group_notification_settings_url = $site_url . '/notifications/group/' . $recipient->username;
  $recipient_language = ($recipient->language) ? $recipient->language : (($site_language = elgg_get_config('language')) ? $site_language : 'en');
  
  $originalMessage = $returnvalue['body'];
  /** ===== Prepare the HTML message ====== */
  $messageHTML = $originalMessage.elgg_echo('amazon_ses:content', [$to_address, $site_url, $notification_settings_url, $group_notification_settings_url], $recipient_language);
