Comment (by datallah):

 I can't recreate this; when I have my Pidgin overall settings (not just
 account-specific settings) set up to use a "!Tor/Privacy (SOCKS5)" Proxy
 type (or even just a regular SOCKS5 proxy), it'll do the DNS and connect
 through the proxy and not directly.

 https://pidgin.im now has a SSL certificate installed, so it's probably
 possible to just switch the URL to check over SSL without any other
 changes.
