Hi!
I have a 22 year old unpainted mast. Ok, not so nice, but no black color,
minimal dirt on the sails and NO MAINTANCE. I would not paint it.

I would not leave the mast bare.
Yes, aluminium oxide is a natural developing compound when bare aluminum
is exposed to air; however, it is black in color and is easily wiped off,
especially by your sails.
I'd shoot it with a yellow zinc chromate primer which is designed
specifically for aluminium and then paint it with LP.
