Why would it? A configurable mail server, Courier-MTA for example, lets you
use multiple domains and multiple IPs. However, unless you send many thousands
messages per day, I would suggest to stick to one domain name and one outgoing
IP address. And it is key to get an IP address without poorly reputed
neighbors —check talosintelligence.com.

Hosting additional domains is as easy as publishing an MX record. You can also
publish DKIM and SPF records so as to produce DMARC-aligned authentication for
any hosted domain. Users won't notice any difference.

As Mark said, it does make deliverability easier to send via one established
SMTP server.

Currently, the RFC allows anything in the HELO name.
