You must have your SMTP server set to your home ISP in your mail account
(Tools -> Accounts). Many (most?) ISPs will only accept mail sent from
within their own network, so if you try to send mail through their SMTP
servers while traveling they will reject it. This probably has nothing to
do with Entourage, and would happen with any mail program.
There are a couple of options you can try:
1) See if your ISP has an option for Authenticated SMTP -- where you
provide your username/password when sending email. You can find this on
their website or by calling them. Then you need to configure your Entourage
account to make this work.
2) Get a gmail account, or other free email service that you can use for
sending. Gmail is nice because you can configure it to allow you to send
"From" different addresses (most free email servers only let you send as,
e.g., lu...@hotmail.com)
3) Get a paid email account for sending from anywhere, such as AuthSMTP.com

Most probably because you need to specify the SMTP server for the remote
locations. Your home SMTP server does not relay...
You can either use the SMTP from the network you connect to in your
Account settings, or use Postfix to use your own Mac as your SMTP
server.
Postfix can be activated manually, through a few Terminal tricks r you
can use the application MailServe (shareware) to do it for you.

companies and ISPs won't accept email from a sender without a valid MX
record in DNS. So if you are sending from some random name/address at a
remote network, you wouldn't be able to send to people at AOL.
And you wouldn't even know that your mail is being rejected in many cases,
because most mail servers just silently drop mail from "invalid" servers.
Basically, if you are running Postfix and you don't have a valid MX record
pointing to your IP address, you look a lot like a spammer or a
virus-compromised PC.
