I've not had any issues with self signed certs with TLS on SMTP. That said,
lately I've been using Lets Encrypt certificates with the certbot program
to manage them, and that has worked really well. The initial setup takes a
little effort to do a DNS based verification since the mail hosts are not
running HTTP servers to do the automatic verification. Renewals are
automatic, though.
