While Hetzner indeed monitors network traffic to catch, for example,
network scans originating from their infrastructure, I can't confirm the
blocking of TCP port 25 as a default measure. Is this perhaps a recent
change?

None of the physical or virtual Hetzner servers I have operated for both
customers and myself over the past 20ish years had any port
restrictions. A good portion of these servers were, in fact, dedicated
mail servers, so I would have noticed blocks on port 25.
