Maybe your host has been blacklisted? I seem to recall that Gmail doesn't accept SMTP messages from Bluehost, for example, because Bluehost doesn't filter out spam.
If it's a localhost install, that could be the problem.
The port also has to be correct and may be different for tls versus ssl.

Thanks Bob - nothing seemed to work via SMTP so I gave up and used localhost to send - as the mail and web server are the same this seems to work ok.

I've been there many times. I really hate messing with email. I'm glad you got something to work.
