is there a way to properly configure a relay (ORPort reachable) that has full internet access beside outgoing destination port 80 that will properly work?

Problems: publishing descriptor to authorities that use that port, clients are not aware of this restriction of a relay and will try to build circuits where $nextrelay uses ORPort 80 -> circuit will fail (currently 28 relays use ORPort 80)

I guess one should simply not bother trying to run a relay in such a scenario. Is my assumption correct?

Yes, for now. We haven't figured out how to handle network topology restrictions like this safely yet.
