Anyway, real SMTP clients use DNS. I'd consider IIoT devices as submission

Color me skeptical. From an idealist perspective I would like such devices
to
submit mail to MSAs using port 587, or better, TLS over port 465. I'm just
not sure that will fly as there seems to be a lot of mindshare in that world
around submitting mail using port 25.
Serving submission on port 25 is a feasible alternative:
Although most email clients and servers can be configured to use port
587 instead of 25, there are cases where this is not possible or
convenient. A site MAY choose to use port 25 for message submission
by designating some hosts to be MSAs and others to be MTAs.
