Looking for SMTP relay provider recommendations for personal use with custom domains. Could even host it myself, but I'm pretty sure it ain't worth the effort.

Been using https://poste.io/ since 2017, works great
Self-hosting Postfix for just outgoing e-mail sending is simple. Just make sure to confgure TLS and IP whitelist or auth to not create open relay.
Did that in the past, but setting up all the bells and whistles required to not end up in spam folders was too tiring and just not my kind of expertise. 😬
For that most important is SPF DNS TXT records. You will need to do it with any SMTP provider anyway, unless you also delegate handling DNS to them.
