Well, at home I have a dialup and from time to time I use my exim to deliver
Mails, while not using a smarthost. Its true: Some people do not accept
Mails from Hosts in DUL-Lists, but that is just their decision. If they do
not want Mails from some IP-Addresses they do not get the mail. As I can
live with that its okay for me.
There is no reason why people shouldn't use an MX-Lookup to deliver their
Mail if they want to do so.
