Ok I don't quite understand everything you are alluding to here but I
think I have some suggestions anyway.

You can have you e-mail clients use your ISP as the SMTP server. You
should be able to setup your MTA to forward the mail to a specific host,
which would be your ISP.

If your PC is used as a gateway you can setup some iptables rules to
forward port incoming requests on eth0 for port 25 to port 25 on
127.0.0.1. This one allows the people on the inside network to set their
SMTP server to anything they want, the gateway mail server will always
handle the mail.
