Some people, notably Viktor and Alan, rely on LCO files for such
things.  You can place LCO files somewhere in the texlive/miktex path
and load them via #+LCO: file1 file2 . . ..

Write your own template.  ox-koma-letter has supported it's own
standard template (as compared to the default LaTeX template) for a
while now.  A description on how to use this feature is included in
the preamble of the file.

If you insist on not having "non-file-based" customizations use
something like Emacs skeletons or yasnippet (not part of Emacs) to
generate templates.

Did you turn on smart quotes?

  (setq org-export-with-smart-quotes t).

It works on my system with ox-koma-letter.

Hope it helps,
Rasmus
