Sorry to answer so late.

I see that theora + h261 works, so two video codecs work too...

The only thing I can tell is to look over the debug output (-d 4) for 
each of the cases where the calls do not work to test if it is the issue 
of too big packet, look at 
http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Troubleshooting#I_hear_the_ring.2C_but_the_communication_is_not_established. 
 If not, create a bug report.  If yes, you have nothing to do, it is a 
known issue.

You cannot change the packet size.  The "auto-negotiation" means using 
TCP instead of UDP, but this is not yet finished, see 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341518

You are right.  Hint: As it seems your provider is an audio-only 
service, you can check off all video codecs.

Yes.  Create a bug report and add a screenshot.
