No, MTAs accept messages for their own recipients, of course. A few
block incoming connections from non-MTA hosts, but that's pretty rare.
But quite a few ISPs block port 25 (and some block the SMTP submission
port, too) for outgoing traffic. In that case you have to talk to your
local MTA.
I don't have any numbers, but when travelling the past few years I've
never had any trouble talking to the SMTP submission port on the MTA I
use in Norway, so blocking is pretty rare from hotel wifis and the like,
at least.
