Searching the arch packages turned up a few:

Caveats:

* haven't used any of these, so can't vouch for how good they are. 
(Maybe others can chime in?)

* a few of them appear to be unmaintained orphans


BTW, I'd be curious to hear back what you wind up choosing.  I'm using 
my MTA for a similar purpose as you (smart host forwarding to an ISP) 
and currently using exim for it, but like you said it's way overkill for 
that.  Would happily move to something simpler.

HTH,
