Have you considered creating SMTP MSA (port 587) server as "step one"?
Making dovecot itself handle SMTP AUTH may help to better integrate dovecot with a few more MTA servers.
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
Would "simple MTA" make more sense to you?
- MSA
- sending out via smart host
- accepting incoming from email gateway
It may make sense for organizations with geographically distributed branches
honestly having a new MTA makes no sense at all for me it is hard to impossible to beat out postfix/exim these days
the unix principle is have one tool for one job and let work the tools together
