I had this very same conversation with someone at Microsoft just the other day.

Azure doesn't support the SMTP service because if it did, it would quickly become the world's biggest spamming engine and the Azure IP address range would soon be blacklisted.

The answer I was given is to relay through an on-premise or third-party SMTP relay service.

You might be able to achieve something with a VM Role, or maybe a different SMTP solution in a worker role, but for the reasons given above, I wouldn't bother.
