It seems the problem is solved now:
;; ANSWER SECTION:
col7.metta.lk. 17h46m59s IN MX 10 metta.lk.
col7.metta.lk. 16h53m38s IN NS server1.tradenetsl.lk.
col7.metta.lk. 16h53m38s IN NS dhamma.metta.lk.
The problem was an A record which pointed a 172.16.x.x address.

The problem was the A record. Other MTAs searched a dns record about your
host, and they found an A record. Maybe an MX record too. Then they
happily tried to send to the A record's address, but every modem filters
local IPs out from the public network, and MTAs got no route to network (or
no route to host) error.
