Bad News here
It's common practice to block mail servers from private internet connections with dynamically assigned IP addresses. You'll have a lot of rejections for valid mails. Nothing you can do about it. Fighting Spam means making it hard for spammers to send emails - at the same time making it hard for everybody to send emails.
And don't even try to send mails without a proper set up mail server(rdns, SMTP-Banner, Relay-Restriction,...). Connection will be dropped, faster than your mailer can say HELO.
IMO is using a smarthost one of the easier alternatives here.
