Have you written SMTP server or in this case SMTP client software?

Yes.

In lieu of hard coding the client domain name, I would love to know how you
can get the client domain name to be used for the EHLO/HELO command when all
you have is the socket connection IP address.

When configuring an MTA, you must configure which mail domains it 
handles (delivers "locally") instead of relaying.  There is *no*
automatic way to do that.  While doing that, pick a (valid) HELO name as well.  

When configuring an MUA, the HELO doesn't matter.  The MTA will recognize
the IP as local, or you will use SMTP AUTH.
