Nowadays, all SMTP submission is done over SSL port which is generally 993. You need Port 25 only if you want to run your own mail server or your mail provider does not give secure submission.
Please check if the other SMTP submission port(s) are open.
Won't help, since you still need to make an SMTP connection, and then negotiate it (using STARTTLS) into a TLS connection. I don't believe there's any way to start a TLS connection directly, though I wuld be happy to be proven wrong.
This is my Out Going SMTP server settings in ThunderBird.
Server Name: smtp.gmail.com Port: 587 user name: <my mail ID> Secure Connection: TLS
As you can see there is no Port 25 anywhere.
