Yes, though you'd want to use client and server certificate verification
for the MTA-to-MTA links, which means you'd need a list of hosts that are
members of this secure federation to avoid interop problems. This seems to
me like a fairly obvious idea so I expect there are already companies
doing it - though I don't know of any.
