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.

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.
