Don't buy overly cheap connections...

    The SMTP client MUST, if possible, ensure that the domain parameter
    to the EHLO command is a primary host name as specified for this
    command in Section 2.3.5.  If this is not possible (e.g., when the
    client's address is dynamically assigned and the client does not have
    an obvious name), an address literal SHOULD be substituted for the
    domain name.


    An SMTP server MAY verify that the domain name argument in the EHLO
    command actually corresponds to the IP address of the client.
    However, if the verification fails, the server MUST NOT refuse to
    accept a message on that basis.

Correct. Mail servers have a variety of option to check the HELO name.

Another possibility to discard spammers claiming to be your domain is to set
SPF -all. That, however, has other drawbacks.
