In fact it may be normal: by configuration, some SMTP servers wait some
seconds after connect before sending the connect answer and discard
everything from a client beginning to "talk" before this initial reply.
This is a very efficient anti-spam disposition :-) See
http://acme.com/mail_filtering/sendmail_config_frameset.html.

For the current problem, I would check the SMTP dialog timeline from the
connection, and perform some tests against another server...
