What does "ntpq -p" show? A healthy ntp should show at least one ntp server with a "reach" column of 377, a stratum (st) column of some low number (< 16).

That can be either because no servers are listed in /etc/ntp/step-tickers or because they are down or blocked by a firewall. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
