Postfix logs all problems. If the mail sending application does
not log all problems, then talk to their support people.

The Postfix SMTP server logs all connection timeouts like this:

    timeout after xxx from yyy[zzz]
    timeout after DATA (xxx bytes) from [yyy[zzz]

If there are no such events logged, then changing Postfix time
limits will not make a difference.

Another possibility is that the client makes so many SMTP connections
in parallel that all Postfix SMTP servers are busy. Postfix will
log that as

    warning: service "xxx" (yyy) has reached its process limit "zzz":
    new clients may experience noticeable delays

This can be addressed by application or Postfix configuration.

I'm not going to dunmp out all the possible solutions. You need
to determine what the problem is.
