Is there a situation where a domain owner would NOT want the MX's to be
authorized to send mail on behalf of his domain?

Yes. I can think of 2 cases where a domain owner may not want the MX
to send mail, though some will.

1) The secondary MXs. Where a 3rd party server is used as a backup
   for when the primary is down.

2) Where a 3rd party 'filtering' service (eg Message labs) is used
   and the MX for the domain is set to their servers.
