The problem isn't python.  Your pc(?) is not able to connect to this mail
server.     If you have a firewall,  turn it off very briefly while you
retry the telnet test.   If this doesn't help,  then you will need to
contact your network provider (eg: your IT dept, or your home ISP) and ask
them if they are blocking port 25 outbound.    Until you get telnet to
work,  your python will not work either.

HTH :)
