I'm thinking of adding an SPF to a domain. So I'm concerned if there are circumstances under which my MTA would use some relay when sending mail. Like, when the destination servers are too busy or something? I'm mainly interested in postfix's or exim's default settings.

No, if you don’t configure any relay (and don’t fiddle around on the network layer) , an MTA will try to deliver to whatever DNS says should get the mail.

some relay when sending mail.
No. Your server will attempt to send email to the MX record(s) for the destination domain.
