And since it timed out instead of Connection refused" that points at your ISP blocking (by dropping) outbound SMTP connections from your host. This is common - it makes it much harder for corrupted machines to spam. Likely it means you need to deliver outgoing email via your ISP's SMTP server. The "telnet ...blah... 25" suggestion elsewhere in the thread lets you test SMTP (port 25) connectivity; I gather you can't SMTP direct from one of your other responses. You probably need to tell your mail system (probably sendmail?) that its relay is your ISP's SMTP server.
