Running your own SMTP server would by-pass the ISP's one,
and do delivery direct to the recipient's mailserver.
So it might possibly solve your problem.
You'd need to try.
However, it's possible they are blocking connections to port 25,
to prevent people running their own mailservers.
Some ISPs will do this.
The fact they are limiting the traffic through their own mail server would
suggest they are attempting to limit outgoing spam, and if that's the case,
they might well have blocked port 25 too.
