Your configuration will look for the hostname "mailhost" in the dns
domain of the same machine that the server runs on... If this is a unix
box with a /etc/hosts of:
127.0.0.1 localhost mailhost
it would explain this behavor.
Try changing the "mailhost" in the config file to "smtpabcd" and see if
the error remains the same. If so, the config is not coming from where
you think it is :)
