If a particular ISP can't send email to hotmail domains, then that ISP has some serious problems.
You didn't mention your audience - assuming your audience is normal people (not internal employees), then in my opinion there's no way you can expect them to install IIS or SMTP server. We're talking about opening firewall ports, installing major Windows components, all to do a basic task like sending email, assuming the user's ISP even allows them to act as a SMTP server, which some don't. If you really can't get the standard email stuff working, which there's no reason you shouldn't be able to as long as the end user can connect to a SMTP server, then I'd suggest exposing a simple web service that does the dirty work of sending emails, and have your application connect to that web service and pass along the appropriate details. The user would then only need to be able to hit the web, which they definitely will be able to do with zero configuration.
