Been hosting my own email for over 20yrs. Get a vps at some reputable hoster, and make this a dedicated mailserver. Be sure to setup all dns records that are required, and rollout antispam measures.

You expressed yourself just fine and my question is still valid. Do you have the capacity to handle multi Tbit traffic on the edge ips that you use to hide the backend ips? Because if all of those are flooded, not only will the backend app be unreachable, but all your customers will be unreachable as well.
Even if you can get the appZTNA stuff to work (which I doubt), how is your infra going to absorb multi Tbit traffic without customer impact?
You will be in for a surprise once you learn about tcpdump ;-) Welcome to internet hosting!
