Oh, I see, thanks!

It kind of defeats the purpose, since now the third-party will be able to read all my outgoing emails, and have control over them.

You're transiting over their network anyway -- the jig is already up even without relaying via their gateway.

Connecting directly to the remote (non-ISP) mailserver with TLS shouldn't reveal any message contents.

Relaying via the ISP's mail server though (even with TLS) seems like it would disclose the message contents.
