Toilet that can pump waste "Up" into sewage pipe
I want to put a guest toilet in the basement for guests when I throw backyard barbeques.
I can see the sewage line running along the basement wall where I want to put it but it's about 3 feet above the floor.
Is there a type of toilet that can flush "up" into a sewage line?

Yes there are but many are plagued by clogging issues.. Many are good for #1 only. any #2 or women use IMO will have clogging issues...
Best to put a true ejector in...

Here is a link to an article about up flush toilets and the different types Upflush Basement Toilets - choosing the right one for you . Some are very easy to install and some kind of complicated to install and all of them will not flush just anything. As an example you can't put a great deal of toilet paper in the toilet at once like you can with some gravity fed toilets.

I just realized after reading the third and best option here:
Upflush Basement Toilets - choosing the right one for you
that I have a sump pump (installed to pump out water from the basement) in a hole in the basement right next to where I want to put the toilet.
Has anyone tried to "connect" a toilet directly to a sump pump and have it work?

Google "basement sewage lift station". You will find the proper equipment for that job.

Ok so this is looking like a major project/expense - I was just hoping to go out back, dig a hole in the ground, throw up a couple walls and a roof and be done with it ... back to the drawing board.

Easiest would be a sump that the toilet sits on. They use a standard toilet and sewage ejectment pump so they are pretty reliable and easy to maintain and cost $700-$1'000.

I heard a porta-john is in the $300 range and a dump out-refill "service" is like $50 ... ?
I'm reading that the liquid formula is proprietary but couldn't I just gin up my own structure and use a 50% bleach/50% dyed & perfumed water solution and just dump it periodically or just send it into a big hole in the ground periodically?

You can buy your own blue stuff at an RV supply place, but NO you can't just dump it out on or in the ground. It either needs to be sucked out by a company or put into a sanitary sewer system. If you are on septic, you are limited to the company option, unless you want to haul buckets of waste in your vehicle somewhere that has a dump station.
