Outgoing should not be a problem. Your Yahoo mail settings should be okay:

https://help.yahoo.com/kb/pop-access-settings-instructions-yahoo-mail-sln4724.html

Test with email -V for verbose output.

Your ISP should also offer SMTP access and provide instructions: just change the
SMTP server info above.

If you have bind-utils installed, you can find your local ISP MX with:

$ ipconfig | sed
'/Connection.*Suffix.*:\s[^\r]/!d;s/^.*:\s//;s/\r//;s/^[^.]*\.\([^.]*\.[^.]*\)$/\1/'
| xargs host | sed '/^[^ ]*\smail\sis\shandled\sby\s[0-9]*\s\([^ ]*\)$/!d;s//\1/'

which can also be handy when you have a lap top on WiFi.
