That's most unlikely to be what you want. Outgoing SMTP connections
(and pretty much all other connections, too, unless specifically
configured otherwise) use a randomly-allocated 'ephemeral' port number
with a high number (at least > 1024) as their source port. If your ISP
has blocked anything, it's probably connections to a destination port
of 25. Good for them.
You need to use their submission service which they undoubtedly
provide for you in return. Or use a smarthost which is under your
control, and connect to the submission port (587).
