It says that there isn't a valid mail server at that address (connection refused or protocol error). It doesn't say that nothing answers (name error).

A valid mail server for calibre will support either TLS or SSL. Do you know that the server you are contacting does that, i.e., have you tried it? If so, with what client and on what port? Many many servers do not accept switching to encryption, but some will accept connecting to an encrypting server at some port other than 25.

And do you you know that the mail server you are contacting will accept to be a relay?
