when a user hits 'send' the mail take _60_ seconds to get across the
server. The mailer just sits there "sending... sending..." the whole
time. The 60 seconds suggests a screwup in configuration on my part and
a 60 second timeout somewhere, but I don't know what to check.

So, you have an internal client/server submission problem? This smacks like a dns resolution problem. All clients or only external/internal?

Webmail or smtp client software?

Firewall between client /server?

What does the log say, starting from connect to?

There are too many questions unanswered to give precise help.

Here's a command line test:

Check from client:
"telnet ip.of.ser.ver 25" or "telnet name.of.ser.ver 25" (test both)
  - How log does it take, bevor the smtp banner appears?

"ehlo client.full.name"
 - How long, bevor the Capabilities of the server are seen?

"mail from:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
 - How long for the server to respond?

"rcpt to:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
 - How long for the server to respond?

"data"
 - How long...

Write some text lines here...

[return]
.
[return]

- How long for the server to respond?
