There is no "reverse DNS" set up for this address.  IOW, there is no 
PTR record named 25.56.94.219.in-addr.arpa.  Unless your config does 
something different in such cases (like introducing an intentional 
delay), this message is just informational and is not related to your 
problems.

As already pointed out, this looks like a client config issue.  The 
client appears to be trying SSL-on-connect to a port (25?) that you 
haven't configured that way.

And nothing further?  The interesting log lines, if any, would follow 
that one.

Your -Bv output shows you have GNUtls support compiled in, so 
STARTTLS *should* be advertised.  If you telnet to your server and 
issue an EHLO, what do you get in response?  If STARTTLS is included, 
this seems like a client issue.
