You don't have a route in the form from "0/0 to DEST".
Table RIP is used only from callers already bound to src RIP.
One of the ways to autoselect source IP address when talking
with destination host is to provide saddr=0.0.0.0 as
routing call argument. Without such routes you have to bind()
to some local IP before connect().
BTW, defining preferred source in all routes is recommended.
