I have seen the "Operation now in progress" message appear when the 
remote server has a messed up TLS configuration.  Try adding this to 
your esmtproutes file:

xxxx.com.au: /SECURITY=NONE

 From the man page:

The /SECURITY=NONE flag prevents the Courier mail server from using the 
STARTTLS ESMTP extension even if the remote server claims to support it. 
Use this flag to deliver mail to misconfigured Microsoft Exchange relays 
that claim to support STARTTLS, but always report a failure to a 
STARTTLS request.
