My company does this for a hotspot provider; the way I solved it is to
allow relaying for authenticated connections, and make sure the
authentication always succeeds. I configured saslauthd to use PAM and
used pam_permit.so for the SMTP service. You'll want to look up SASL and
PAM documentation for this.

I guarantee you will get people sending viruses and spam from infected
laptops. I implemented virus scanning and rate limiting to combat this,
which is working fine so far.
