I have thought of that, but the expense is not justified (yet).

Pity. Seems I can't get all :-}

Yes... very doubtfull... :-?
My current procedure is easier to maintain: change the configuration when
I have to send an email trhough a different route. And, it wouldn't solve
the problem of sending emails with redirector aliasses.
The advantage now is that I have learnt a an alternative place to set it
up, based on "from" instead than in "to", and I can at last use a method
to relay (almost) everything. I could create now an script instantly
setting up/down relaying. It's something.
Another method would be to have a fixed IP, and use it for sending, but
that would be a different can of worms, I guess.

Me too :-/
At least, my main one doesn't do it, but someplaces I send to do. They
accept the email, but it never reaches the destination. Worse, their users
think that the problem is mine because I'm a geek or something. Of course,
as I use linux, I must have done something wrong. :-(
Nowdays, email is less reliable than surface paper mail.
