Actually I understood the issue perfectly, and using Outlook and two accounts is a lot 
easier than the poor user reconfiguring every
time they change locations (daily?) plus they aren't forging themselves if they use 
the account available to them.  Outlook has a
nice drop down letting you pick which account to use with each message, so if user at 
home they pick their ISP account.  No
reconfiguration required.

Encouraging them to forge their sender address when not using the company mail server 
is not a good idea.

You missed/don't understand the issue.

Company user using his company e-mail for company business, while out of the
office, can not send company e-mail out through port 25 other than
to/through the ISP mail server. During this time, he has to reconfigure his
company e-mail account to send outgoing company e-mail through the ISP
e-mail server, or else it does not get delivered.
