SendGrid for sending signup, password reset emails. They have an API and SMTP support which we prefer since it avoids lock in.
We use MailChimp for our marketing mails purely because of habit. SendGrid can handle that too.
On the free plan for both for ages and ages so didn’t have to worry about the cost until we started ramping up.
I would advise against your own SMTP server. I maintain one for ‘fun’ for my personal emails and between SPF, DKIM etc. it’s more time and effort than it’s worth for an early stage project.
You also get cool analytics with MC and SG which shows who received their emails, who hit spam, who clicked, etc. very handy for diagnosing signup mail problems.
