It's possible, why not? Just use your own servers as a cert signing service for your IoT device as part of the bootstrap process if you are unwilling to have any services running on it. Or ship the device with the signed cert. You can have the host name in the DNS even though it's not accessible from everywhere.

Certs expire sometimes. And the device doesn't necessarily have an internet connection. What then?
