I don't know about "easier," but if you can locate a relay that will
accept connections on some port other than 25, that may work.

Port 465 is evidently the "standard" port for ssmtp (secure SMTP);
it's worth looking for relays on that port.

Open relays tend to be a bad thing, but this does not force
authenticating relays to be a Force For Evil...
