Does this thread help? Specifically the section titled “Are your SMTP connections being blocked?”
You could also check to see what ports are listening on your droplet:
$ ss -lntu
The centre column of output is what you’re looking for - port 25 for SMTP.
If you have a firewall like iptables or ufw active, then this could be causing the problem (perhaps).
