"outsource" email from my self hosted shenanigans (self.selfhosted)

Hello friends, I am considering using some of my domains for email in addition to my self hosted stuff and i cannot stress enough how much i do not want to host and run my own email service. My objective is to find a service that i can hook up with Gmail, so i think it'd have to do mail forwarding and submission/SMTP for sending mails. Mostly just myself, but maybe a few others too. I don't want to spend twenty bucks per domain though. Does anyone have suggestions?

I use mailbox.org - they recently changed the pricing and now you'll have to pay a minimum of €3/month to have your custom domain.

IIUC apple has an email offer at $1/month that allows a (or many? idk) custom domain and wildcard mailbox.

Honestly, I am considering doing the opposite and starting to self host my email... I loathe comparing the differences between various plans/tiers of the various providers and with commercial email one is bound to do that once in a while (plus €3/month is kinda steep... I mean... not that it's a very high price per se, but I pay some €6/year for a certified email mailbox and it's kinda strange to pay much more for a "normal" one)
