That's a good policy. It will prevent clueless people from becoming
spammers and it will make troubleshooting easier for the ISP.

Of course there are...
- setup an SSH tunnel for SMTP traffic towards a remote host were
you want to drop your mail and define localhost:25 as your
smarthost.
ssh -v you@remotehost -L 25:remotehost:25 -N
- on a remote host, let the smtpd listen to different port than 25.
- send the mail to the submission port on the remote server instead
of the smtp port.
