Normal server greeting:
Postfix Client <-> RemoteServer
------------------------------------
SYN ->
<- SYN-ACK (30s or less later)
ACK ->
<- 220 mail.example.com ESMTP (300s or less later)
Lost connection while receiving the initial server greeting:
Postfix Client <-> RemoteServer
------------------------------------
SYN ->
<- SYN-ACK (30s or less later)
ACK ->
<- RST or 300s or more delay

Unlikely, but the remote server could be overloaded, or deliberately
dropping connections from you at the application layer (kernel
accepts connections, but the application closes them) or as mentioned
by others there could be firewall issues.
