They should be willing to turn on relaying for your specific IP or host. Since I have Comcast cable, I am on a lot of blacklists (they blacklist all of Comcast's home users subnets).
To get around this, and I am sure there is a much simpler way (eliminating Exchange), I allow my Exchange server to relay from one specific host. There is no authentication required coming from this specific host. This still doesn't solve the blacklist problem but I use a service called www.dnsexit.com which has email relay as one of their services. They are not on any blacklists (that I am aware of)and the reason why I make the hop to Exchange is because they have an easy how-to with pictures :-) on their website for authentication from Exchange. I followed their instructions and have checked my logs, I am not an open relay and only use about 500 relays a day average. I pay $50/yr for 600 relays which is fine for now. Here are their prices. Pricing Fully refundable within 30 days of the payment if service is not satisfied. 150 relays per day - $14.95/year 300 relays per day - $26.95/year 450 relays per day - $38.95/year 600 relays per day - $49.95/year 900 relays per day - $79.95/year 1200 relays per day - $107.95/year 1500 relays per day - $139.95/year 2000 relays per day - $179.95/year Rock solid delivery and have not had any bounced blacklist emails. Not sure if the prices are good but I like the service they provide and may look at somem of the other services they have if I ever need them. I have no affiliation with this company.
