Try using SSMTP, SMTP over SSL. It's port 465 and I've never heard of it
being blocked. I think all the main SMTP daemons support it.

Haven't actually tried it myself, but more and more mail servers are adding
support.

Once you have that working get someone who has port 25 available to be an M=
X
for you and they can forward mail from servers that don't support SSMTP :).
