The HELO/EHLO will need to be a hostname which can be resolved to an IP address in public DNS. Not necessarily the sender's IP address, but it won't do any harm if it is. You may also get away with just a domain name in the HELO, if the domain's DNS server [incorrectly] resolves this to an IP address.
