If there are any out there that don't require authentication....they probably won't be around for much longer.

Also realize that many ISP SMTP servers, if they don't require authentication...they still will only accept connections from those people who are inside the ISP's bandwidth (their subnets).

There are tons of smtp servers out there that are set to open relay. however most ISP's and people like me run RBL connection filters and if you are a know spammer or have your mail server set to open relay then your connection is rejected.
