For such an issue encryption is a better solution.  Even going straight
from your system to the advertised MX record you don't really know how
many or which systems your message may pass through.  In addition if
some one wanted to eaves drop they could access one of the many routers
your message passes through and capture it that way.  Without encryption
the message goes in plain text.  Any expectation of privacy when sending
email should be corrected.  There is none.
