I simply sit on their fiber and does not relaying anything through them.

Yes, but your packets traverse their routers and can be hijacked.

To be a bit less obscure, the ISP is applying Destination NAT -- also called DNAT or redirection -- to your outbound SMTP traffic, rewriting the destination IP in your outbound port 25 traffic to point to its outbound mail relay.

Your only fix for this is to get your ISP to stop hijacking your port 25 traffic. They are doing that to prevent spam coming from their network, which is good. They may also be doing that to provide incentive to individuals like yourself to buy a more expensive grade of service that allows mail to flow unmolested.

There's another possible workaround, if the ISP won't budge (or even if it does and you still find yourself blocked based on your providers IP reputation): some service providers may let you purchase outbound mail relay service; you'd send outbound to them via an unblocked port like 587 and they'd relay via port 25. Shop carefully as many of these services also have reputation issues.
