Digital Ocean blocks port 25 by default and I've heard getting it
unblocked can be a nightmare.

It's definitely a non starter for e-mail. Linode does the same but their
guide is 10x more helpful so I reckon there's much better odds of it working

given their current reputation. However, you can find many good
hosting companies that offer a server for $5/month.
I think that is still the lowest tier at Linode for instance.

account
and just popping the mail to there, but what are folks using these
days?
(assuming I have no desire to run my own server)
I run my own VM for this. Relatively small incremental costs beside a
few boxes I need to run for ~unrelated things. This also keeps me
sharp and allows me to try hackish experiments on live email streams.
If you were willing to go this route, $6-$12 would provide a
DigitalOcean "droplet" with up to 50Gb of good storage. They have
static IPv4 and IPv6 addresses although the latter are actively
discouraged from being usable for email.
I also run a few mailservers in AWS with great results, although
slightly more expensive.
