hardly - only in very small environments this could work

everywhere else you have sender-dependent relay hosts, RCPT dependent relayhosts
and all sort of aliases which you *do not* want treated different between
incoming mail from outside or a internal server and submission mail

the only real difference between submission is that it is authenticated
and because the authentication a few restrictions are not applied

but in usual there is and must not be any difference in the mail-routing

so no - make it complete or not at all
