Whoever is providing your mail service would be able to provide the IP address. However, most mail services demand you use the host name and not an IP address because if they happen to change the IP address then you will again not be able to send mail. A better option is to ensure that your DNS settings are correct so that the system can find the mail service using the name. Typically when we program MFPs we use 8.8.8.8 as the secondary DNS server. A DNS server is a service that converts a name like mymailserver.com to an IP address. If the DNS settings are corrupt or wrong, that look up service will fail.
