DO does get blacklisted on occasion. I've moved my SMTP server elsewhere do to AT&T blocking my emails. They use UCEProtect which will block all DO from time to time.
DigitalOcean no longer allows SMTP, you may be grandfathered in.

At all, or by default?
In many cases, additional services (ports) are available on request. This is largely a spam-management (outbound) issue for service providers.
Apparently you need to be a customer for 60+ days of 'stable use' before they'll enable smtp.

I setup my mailinabox instance about 2 months ago without issue.
