Friends elsewhere suggested a solution, but first why this is so 
shameful for me:
I did click "yesyesyes" on a certificate warning because I was expecting 
one anyway (self-signed).

Friend's bounce:

     : host mx01.speakeasy.net[69.17.117.60] said: 554 5.7.1
     : Client host rejected:
     Access denied (in reply to RCPT TO command)

linuxbox's log file:

     Mar 25 ... linuxbox ...
     A53E6.2070502 () linuxbox org>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, 
relay=mail-out-01.swisscom-eurospot.com [83.97.120.90]

Bastards proxy SSL'd connections too. Unless I missed something.

Solution:
Use submission on port 587 with STARTTLS
