Two more stabs:

1) You may also want to make sure that it's listening via
netstat -pnat

and

2)
 From the link you posted:
The last thing you need to do is to instruct the client to use SSL or 
TLS with the outgoing mail server.

Your error message indicates this wasn't done:

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'xxx.homedns.org',
Server: 'xxx.homedns.org', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No,
                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If it still doesn't work, there is a known bug in the older versions of 
outlook/outlook express (suprise!) that might be relevant: See Microsoft 
Knowledge Base Article - 218430 for details.
