This is a classic "smarthost" configuration. See
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-user%40lists.debian.org/msg82754.html
for step-by-step answers to the questions.
As for the rewriting of names, edit /etc/email-addresses and add an
entry for each user or read spec.txt regarding rewriting rules. I
don't think you really need them anyways since you set the From:
header in your MUA.

If you really want it, but my setup is quite a bit different -- I send
outgoing mail directly to the MX handlers and incoming mail is
received directly (it would work just as well coming from fetchmail
though, there's no difference).
