Yeah, I reccon that your ISP has blocked outgoing connections on port
25. If you try send via the SMTP your ISP provided you with does that
work? If that is the case, then you have simple speaking 2 options:

I) Directly use their SMTP for mail from your mailer, or
II)Configure your postfix to use your ISP's SMTP as relay

The latter has the advantage that if their (ISP's) mail server is
playing up (on and off accepting connections), your postfix will indeed
keep trying for you, saving you the hell of saving your mail as a draft
and manually trying each time.

Unfortunately other options are probably not possible. You could contact
them and ask why, depending on whether your contract actually allows you
to run your mailserver own or not (some ISP's are strict in what you may
or may not run).

Greetings
Ralph
