theres the SMTP sending/relay service, and then theres your management of the email domain.
for example, i use Amazon for my hosting services including SMTP. so when my instance emails outbound, its using amazon's service as a relay for my domain. my domains are entirely run/manged through other services.. mostly Proton.
so you'd setup a domain with email on an email provider somewhere, then set your instance to use that domain when sending outbound, which could require auth by your local hosting provider, or special provisions at your email service to accept the relayed email.
youre going to run into issues authorizing the relay needed to send outbound from your instance. amazon was a bitch
