I use http://www.dnsexit.com/Direct.sv?cmd=mailRelay to get around port 25 blockage at home and also avoid going into the spam blackhole. It has an option for no authentication if coming from a defined IP address. That gets around setting up any kind of smarthost authentication. Just make sure your box is not an open relay.
