You can send data to the external server using CURL.

You can use the following code to send the post request to URL.

if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post()) && $model->validate()) {
        $url = 'http://www.example-redirect.com';
        $host = "http://www.example.com";
        $postData = Yii::$app->request->post();

        $ch = curl_init($host);
        $data = http_build_query($postData);

        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        $response = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);
        // Redirect from here
        return $this->redirect(Url::to($url));
    }

You need to use 307 status code to specify redirection which should be performed with the same POST data.

$this->redirect('https://example.com', 307);

The HTTP 307 Temporary Redirect redirect status response code indicates that the resource requested has been temporarily moved to the URL given by the Locationheaders.

The method and the body of the original request are reused to perform the redirected request.

You can redirect your request using HTTP 301

Yii::$app->response->redirect('url', 301);
Yii::$app->end();

Or use any php http clients like Guzzle (see How do I send a POST request with PHP?).

There is no other options.

Easily you can do it with Guzzle. From the documentation I think something like the below code is exactly what you want.

if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post()) && $model->validate()) {
    $response = $client->request('POST', 'http://httpbin.org/post', [
        'form_params' => [
            'field_name' => 'abc',
            'other_field' => '123',
            'nested_field' => [
                'nested' => 'hello'
            ]
        ]
    ]);
}
