To just send out mail you don't need much from a hosting company.  I've found 
Linode to be very good and they have services starting at $5 per month that 
will do what you want.  1G of RAM should be enough for sending mail.

https://www.scaleway.com/

Scaleway starts at E2.99 per month and has 2G of RAM.

There are cheaper domains available, like .click.

Don't send spam and don't use an IP address from a spam-friendly ISP and you 
should be OK.

There's no point in that.  Either run your own server or use an external 
company.
