I'm  afraid you're going to have to get your mind around pushing out a
port change to your users. Of the client-side modifications (use ISP's
outbound,  force VPN first, change SMTP port) it's the easiest to roll
out.  Ultimately,  anything  unprotected  that accepts unauthenticated
mail  for your local domain--even if on a non-well-known port--will be
vulnerable,  but  for  now  the port change offers the best balance of
rollout-ability and protection.
