Hi Juha,
This sucks indeed.
I've been having this problem for over two years now, and the only
reasonable solution I could think of (except changing ISP) is setting up
something with a befriended server (say B) with an isp that doesn't block
port 25. The setup would be that B receives your e-mail (i.e. you have to
change your MX records) and forwards it to your box on another (non-blocked)
port, for instance 10025. For outgoing traffic it is probably easiest to use
your ISP's mailserver.
The above is actually very easy to set up with postfix.
Good luck,
Dan
