What is your setup like? Is the smtp time out happening between client and postfix, or between postfix and a relay host? If the problem is that your mail client cannot send mail through postfix, check /etc/postfix/main.cf, a few variables of interest might be inet_interfaces, my_destination, mynetworks_style, etc. If the problem is between postfix and a relay host, perhaps your relay transport is configured wrong? What are the outputs in /var/log/mail/current after you try to send a mail? (That question only applies if you know the problem happens AFTER the mail gets passed from the client to postfix).
