Thunderbird often hangs when picking up IMAP (starttls) and I've tried

trying to send email via port 587 is also taking up to 1 and 2 minutes
before the message actually gets accepted and sent from TB.

Either a stalled reverse DNS lookup, or a stalled IDENT query, if enabled.

I've also been getting a huge amount of these, like 30,000 yesterday,
which I presume are hitting port 25 so I am not sure why these would
affect port 587.

Why not. It's certainly quite plausible – someone trying a dictionary attack on either port 587 or port 25.

I guess my question is if port 25 is getting hammered will that also
delay port 587's ability to handle incoming auth'd requests?

No.
