Ding ding ding ding! We have a winner! Try at least doubling that.
Unfortunately, you can't say "20 per destination" or "20 per domain",
but setting it to "20 total" is really going to kill performance.
Going from 240 to 20 may have been a bit of an over-reaction. Can you
try 120? That'll help a LOT.
If you have to leave it at 20, you may want to turn your SMTP timeout
down to like 5 seconds at the beginning of a mailing, so all the slow
to respond mail servers are bypassed, then increase it to like 30 after
an hour or two, then to 200 after another hour or two and do a
"killall -ALRM qmail-send". Wacky, but it might get the job done...
