Have you tried using heartbeats with a low value (say, single digit seconds)? It was created
exactly for the case when a peer goes away and TCP retransmission covers the fact.

RabbitMQ Java client pretty much has to synchronize writes to the socket. You can share connection
between threads w/o realizing so, e.g. by publishing from a consumer callback such
as handleDelivery.
