Why don't you use IP-Masquerading for port 21 ?

This could be for your intranet a transparent solution, you
don't
need to modify DNS or build a "transparent-exim".

Intranet MTA -> IP-Masquerading -> Internet-MTA

If the machine, where you do the IP-Masquerading has an
Internet-IP
you should have no problems.

But only my 2 cents
