Yes.
ssmtp is an email sender, it knows how to talk smtp to receiving servers or to
relays. It doesn't receive mails.
If the relay you use requires a username/password or ssl, it supports that
too.
[The receiving smtp server likely does not require a username/password, but it
is equally likely to not accept connection direct from you, hence you should
use your ISPs mail relay]
