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.

On the sending site MTAs can use long chains of relays, that’s typical In an enterprise setting, passing through site local installations, enterprise Gateways, spam filters and possibly a public cloud/isp service for sending, The chain is however configured or enforced privately. Once the public MTA sends it only picks a primary or secondary MX. It is not uncommon to use secondary MXs of your provider and your filtering must deal with it. It is however something you configure with your MX DNS records, so it is configured by the recipient admins.

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.
