Actually MIME::Tools will "work" with MIME::Base64 >= 2.20 but may fail to
decode some binary attachments properly. Having version 3.03 available means
that the 3-argument version of "encode_qp" can be used but it falls back to the
single-argument version otherwise (see
http://search.cpan.org/src/DSKOLL/MIME-tools-5.420/ChangeLog).

So does MIMEDefang directly require 3.03 or later, or is this just an inherited
dependency from MIME::Tools?

EPEL packages are not allowed to replace/update base OS packages, so any
workaround if needed would involve creating a private version of MIME::Base64
(and possibly MIME::Tools) where nothing else would find it and then hacking
MIMEDefang to use the private version.
