You forgot to mention RFC-1149 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1149.html).

SMTP to port 25 will almost[1] *definitely* work this way, since
afaik, not a single ISP anywhere has figured out how to block this
protocol yet.

[1] I say "almost" simply because I have not personally tested this
     theory.  However, after having carefully, and painstakingly
     skimmed this RFC, I can come up with no legitimate means by which
     an ISP could counter-act this method.
