Hi,
your evolution version is "slightly" old, the current stable is 3.16.5,
while 3.18.0 is just behind the corner (to be released the next
Monday). There could be such issues after account changes being made,
hence I'd suggest to change the authentication method to Login and then
close evolution and start it again.
Hmm, even, I tried again here with the to-be 3.18.0 version and the log
shows very odd things. I do not think evolution itself behaves oddly, I
can send messages with any other SMTP servers I've configured.
Nonetheless, the first attempt results in this entry:

That "[SMTP] received: (null)" is obviously wrong. It resulted into the
same error as for you, "service not connected" in UI. I changed the
type from LOGIN to PLAIN and it begun to behave sanely:
[SMTP] Connecting to server smtp.ono.com:25 from account
1442470729.2236.38@xxx
[SMTP] received: 220 smtp1.ono.com ESMTP Service ready

[SMTP] received: 250 SIZE 26214400
[SMTP] sending: AUTH PLAIN AHVzZXJAb25vLmNvbQB0ZXN0
[SMTP] received: 535 invalid user ID or password
Finally, I changed the method back to LOGIN, and that also begun to
work:
[SMTP] Connecting to server smtp.ono.com:25 from account
1442470729.2236.38@xxx
[SMTP] received: 220 smtp1.ono.com ESMTP Service ready

I did not restart evolution between the changes (though I've more
recent version than you have). The thing is that I tried the same steps
before I wrote the previous email in this thread, the only difference
was that I begun with a PLAIN authentication type, not with LOGIN.
I think the server does something very odd the first time evolution
tries to connect to it, nonetheless the evolution should be able to
work with it too (it depends on the actual issue being involved here,
which requires more detailed investigation).
Bye,
Milan
P.S.: If you'll ever think of sending similar logs, omit those hexa-
encoded values, they contain user name and password, which are not a
problem on my side, because I do not have a real account with the ono
server.
