Note INET6, do you have IPv6 configured properly?

telnet expects port number as second argument. But anyway, use some
form of netcat (nc, ncat), forgot about telnet...

Note again IPv6, but anyway, wget is HTTP tool, not related to SMTP.

It has near nothing with localhost.

It seems that in your case, the localhost is resolved to both, the IPv4
and IPv6 address (127.0.0.1/::1), and most nowadays hosts will prefer
IPv6, if can.

Common mistake in dual stack (IPv4/IPv6) hosts is misconfigured
firewall, in many cases blocked ICMPv6 (NDP) messages.

You can workaround (temporary) it by setting exact family (swaks -4
...) or use exact IP address. But nowadays, you have to fix your IPv6
stack.
