Is this really outgoing only, or are you also providing mailboxes for
incoming mail?

An obvious question if you're not handling incoming mail is why don't
they use their own mail provider (the one that handles mail for the
domain on their From line) as their outgoing host?

If you're looking for mail hosting at modest scale, I've been pretty
happy with Tucows white label service.

If it's outgoing only I would not recommend sendgrid who are
chronically unable to manage their compromised and spamming customers.
smtp.com might be a little better.
