Port 25 being blocked on residential connections is still a thing, but it's much less of a thing than it used to be.
I've never had an issue just using the submission port when the default smtp port was blocked :D
I've never run into it being blocked on a VPS or ded host provider. I wonder if this is a locale thing or if you've been unlucky enough to choose providers that attract enough abusers to require these policies.
Some hosts block it by default, but if you ask, they'll open it up no problem.
