You can set up a mail server configured to only accept outgoing e-mail
and relay everything to the SMTP server of your mail provider. It is one
of the supported by configuration by Debian automatic configuration, and
probably other distributions, which means you only need to answer a few
questions like "what is the SMTP server of your mail provider?", and
have none of the problems you are evoking because your server, from the
outside, would just be another mail client.

Or you could install msmtp, which does the same thing but is even
simpler.

Or you could peruse the documentation of git send-email
<https://git-scm.com/docs/git-send-email> and look if... oh, it's there,
there a whole section about connecting to a SMTP server directly.

In short, you could check your facts before wasting everybody's time
with misinformation.
