Blocking port 25 outbound is not 'arbitrary' - it's 'egress filtering'. And, it's highly recommended.
I'd think serious about doing what you're doing, and would likely require they gave me a written and signed request, which had been passed by the org's lawyer. Nasty things happen when kludges like this are put together, and my basic rule is that personal and corporate email don't mix - assuming that this is for a personal account. Even if it's not personal, mixing two [probably-]unrelated business' email is problematic.
