It looks like it has something to do with your home router.  It seems to
be having trouble routing packets which are meant for itself but coming
from inside the lan.

Do you have a SOHO router on your lan (separate from your server), or
is your home server also doing the NAT/NPT routing for your lan?

When your mobile is at home, it has an IP addr on your lan: 192.168.2.6
for example.  When it sends something to example.org:993, it first uses
DNS to change it to an IP addr: 123.456.789.123 in your example.  Then
it sends the request to the router to get to the internet.  But that's the
router's own IP addr (because it IS example.org).  So the router ought to
just use the request internally and deal with it correctly.

If you have a separate SOHO router did it change lately?

If your home server is the router, then, of course, it has changed, and
something isn't working properly.  However, I can't help you any further
because I've never used a server as a router for a lan.

(But note that your iptables output shows rules in the FORWARD chain,
but no packet traffic (those zeroes at the beginning of each line).)
