Seems like a standard way to do this is something like "POP before
SMTP."
If a certain IP authorizes on POP, it's marked as a relay for xx
minutes.

I'm not sure how this is accomplished, or how secure it's considered,
but
it's been done, and I've seen it advised here to someone in a similar
situation.  You might look around for it...
