Working 25/TCP traceroute:

 9  us-nyc01b-ri2-ae8-0.aorta.net (84.116.133.97)  135.133 ms  130.678 ms  
135.886 ms
10  lag-5.ear3.NewYork1.Level3.net (4.68.72.9)  131.931 ms  133.667 ms  134.765

Failing 25/TCP traceroute:

(and so on)

The curious thing is that in the working case, I get this SMTP error
message:

554 5.7.1 You are not allowed to connect.

Which is probably deliberate because I'm connecting from residential
cable (and I think it's listed on the DUL).  The other source address
is not (it's business cable).

So it's either a deliberate block or missing route on the T-Mobile
network.  Hard to tell which.
