What kind of "To" address?

They've already accepted your "RCPT TO" so they must be referring to the
"To:"  header  which could explain why they don't reject until after the
DATA is sent.

Ideally you're telneting from host running IMail.
Try these additional steps:
1) wait until after getting the 220 before sending the HELO command
2) include your FQHN in the HELO command
3) include a From: header with the same address as the MAIL FROM command
4) include a To: header with the same address as the RCPT TO command

Note  that  regardless  of  whether  or not your test works its unlikely
you're  gonna  gain  much  insight  on  what their "554 Message refused"
means. Only they can tell you that.
