Do not use "connection specific" smtp server configuration (if I understood you correctly), but direct configuration entries in modest.
Use 127.0,0.1 (localhost may not work) and 9999.

When you connect to your home ssh via
ssh -L 9999:smtp.btinternet.com:25 your.Server.ssh
then the local port 9999 will be forwarded to extern IP (smtp.btinternet.com) and extern port number 25. Of course this must be open accessible on your home server.

Authentication will just occur as normal, only forwarded/transported via your home server.

I did not do that, so this is just to be proven.
Do you have a SSH server on your home?
