It still isn't necessarily a firewall issue. Have you tried telnet'ing to the host using port 587? Or even 25 to start with? Also try tracing the path to see who is refusing you.

My money is on a relaying issue as mentioned by Kojak. I had the same problem with my past provider. They forced me to use them to deliver and purposely block outgoing TCP 587. I had SSH access to the intended host so I simply set an SSH tunnel using gtunnel(or something like that - can't remember now). Thankfully they weren't also blocking 22! I've since ditched that provider for being restrictive in all the wrong ways

.
