On residential connections, that's probably the case, yes. I'm hosting it on a VPS though and have had no problems with blocked ports so far. I imagine it depends on the provider?
To be honest I haven't done that deep search into how common it is for VPS providers to block port 25, but in the cases it has been relevant for me it has required at least raising a request and for instance for Hetzner being a customer for at least one month. I've figured that it's a good thing and if a VPS provider has no restrictions at all their IP ranges are much more likely to have bad reputation and blocklist issues.
