Cool. Let me know how you get on with DMA, please. I have quite a few servers with no MTA on them, running SSMTP and mailx, but if DMA is a better solution, I'll look into it.
I believe that SSMTP is no longer being maintained, and I had issues a while back - I don't recall what exactly, I think it was TLS certificate related.
DMA is working for me in my environment, which is sending to an email account hosted on Google Apps, albeit that it did get dumped into spam. I think that will generally be the problem with not using authenticated SMTP relays - some destinations will be fine, others will take that as a hint that it is spam like Google did, and others will probably flat out refuse it.
Of-course DMA supports using an authenticated relay as well (not that I have tried that). I just don't like having to store account passwords on boxes like these if I can help it.
If I have any issues I'll try to remember to report back here, although it's such a limited test environment it's not likely to throw up any issues. By so far so good.
