Well, you MUST (RFC2505, 2.1) prevent unauthorized use of your mail server as a mail relay. So if your question is "since my local users don't have to authenticate themselves against my mail server, is there a rule that says I can't offer unauthenticated SMTP service to roaming users", I guess the answer is "yes, there IS actually a rule forbidding that."

roaming staff either use webmail or pop-before-smtp.

Is there a rule that, except for local dial-in, we cannot offer the same services to a client located in a part of the world that we dont't have a dial-in POP as we offer to our local clients? Why shouldn't such clients be able to get their dial-in somewhere and the rest of their services from somewhere else? That includes using a remote SMTP server in the same way a local user can, period.
