Note I own (techically it's more of a rental or lease) multiple domains
hosted across multiple servers which I also fully control (no sharing, full
root control).

As I understand it, a mail server has to use smtp to physically transfer
mail between physical hosts and that requires one name that will resolve to
an IP. Even if the server is hosting multiple domains, the mail for each
still has to use the one "mailname" for transport.

Hence my original question.
