Transparent outgoing HTTP proxying has been deployed for years now. Not
too difficult for the ISP to also "provide" transparent outgoing SMTP
proxying. 

So, even with your own colo mail relay, you'd still want SMTP-over-SSL
whenever possible, between your desktop(s) and your relay, and between your
relay and elsewhere.
