No, you do not need port 110 "open" to send mail. If you are operating a POP3 server process normally listens on port 110. However, you do not need a POP3 server to send mail.

You do not need port 25 "open" to send mail. If you are receiving mail an SMTP server process normally listens on port 25. However, you do not need an SMTP listening process to send mail (only receive).
