syslog server?

This is kind of nonsensical. You should have something like

   *.*;auth,authpriv.none       @192.168.140.25

I cannot find any documentation that discusses syntax for specifying an
alternate port for the syslogd server... I suspect that is not supported.
Fortunately for you, 514/udp is the standard port for syslogd logging.
