The server responds with an IP+port that you can't connect to. That might be a
silly server or something in between you and the server that messes this up.
Like a firewall, a NAT or similar.

And they use PASV fine and get the same IP and somewhat similar port number?

That indicates a problem as well. Using EPSV should not impose a problem if
all things are fine.
