You will not be able to send mail with a dynamic ip address you will need a static IP. If your ip is static you will need to setup dns for the mail server. Do you have a static ip ?
It is not only a static IP issue. There are many challenges that running a server, especially a mail server, from a block of IP’s that is intended for end broadband customers, is going to encounter. Even if you get the server properly set up you will have issues of other domains simply blocking your email based on the ’ IPblock’. Spammers notoriously commandeer user machines for spam so most places block user IP space. NOTHING you can do about that. Your local ISP may not permit SMTP services on the block for that reason. They don’t want to deal with the problem either. Good luck, but, you have been warned.
