ACK. Based on your traffic needs (below) that's just too little gain vs simply running it ALL over a decent smarthost. > > So without that I am forced to use a smart host regardless, but I have > no idea where to look for a good provider.

Though you mention they do not provide PTR RR for connectivity-client's IP's, that is fairly standard. Some ToS even prohibit runnng an MTA service (at least outbound). OTOH, connectivity ISP's ordinarily DO provide a PTR RR for their *own* mailhost(s) - which are not necessarily even in the same IP block s their broadband/dial-up pools. Check that scenario first.
