(1) You don't have to like a technology, in order to use it. I have no
moral objections to TURN/ETRN, so would use them if forced to
(2) You can use _arbitrary_ ports if you control both the sender and the
receiver. On the receiver, have a "daemon_smtp_port = 26"; on the
sender, use the "port" option to the SMTP transport used for
relaying by the router handling mail to that host.

insane, but I'm not quite so insane as to completely mess up such a
statement. Yet.
