Yes, if the ISP for the network you're connected todoes not block
port 25, and for some reason your server is not blocking dynamic
IP blocks via the SpamHaus PBL (part of zen.spamhaus.org).
In practice, that should mean "no". Instead connect to port 587
and authenticate after STARTTLS.
You can use Dovectot as the SASL backend for Postfix, which makes
this rather simple to implement as you already have the requisite
accounts and passwords configured.
