No, I don't think this is good solution


First of all, we could not ask customers to register everything they planned with leased line without legal reasons. 
Second,  if I hire DSL/leased_line service  from ISP and set up domain name for myself,  ISP could not ask me to 
tell them which port should be opened as I'm not taking a firewalling service, I'm not a member of my service provider.
I should be able to do anything that are not perhibited by law or affact someothers.  

 Blocking_port_25 indicates  ISP  pre-assume that customers  will SPAM their network.  But, SPAMmer is just a very small 
group of people.  Maybe most of them comes from other countries ( what happens in China).  

To me,  the proper way of anti-spam may ask cooperation between ISPs and Email service providers.  Anyway, 
strengthening anti-spam ability in Email server is a must.

Joe
