1. Per <https://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail> post (this time in
   plain text rather than HTML form!) your server's configuration settings:

    $ postconf -nf
    $ postconf -Mf

   being sure to not rewrap line breaks.  Attach the output as a text
   file if that's the easiest way to preserve whitespace. 

2. At what stage in the email transaction is the timeout occuring?
   Post the specific log entries related to the transmission of one
   or a few messages that time out.

If you add the remote IP address to debug_peer_list, the SMTP commands
and responses received are be logged.  If your syslog subsystem is
not dropping messages, you'll find them in the log.

The "debug_peer_list" setting takes a list of remote SMTP server (MX
host) IP addresses or hostnames, which is not the same as the remote
domain.

So at least an SMTP connection is established, and STARTTLS is
accepted.
