They best way is to address that in the egress router.
Most routers nowadays can have alerts and triggers based on traffic, so simply create a router policy that sends an alert when too many tcp syn packets out from an IP attempt to connect to remote IPs on port 25.

You can do this for many different ports of course, including port 465/587 etc.. to detect auth attacks from your VPS servers.

Is there anything commonly used for monitoring the level of outbound SMTP? Or are vendors forcing all outbound through an egress server to scan everything, or homerolling wireshark, tcpdump, web flo scripts.

You'd need to be able to break down which unit is generating the spam.
