I will soon be out for xmas break (until early January) and have some assignments before I go, so I can unfortunately not look into this case. However, I guess that the connection to the SMTP server hangs, that is the connection setup does neither abort nor succeed so that the connect() hangs - which is beyond the control of rsyslog core's retry mechanism. Other than that, I have no good clue so far. A debug log may help, but I can't promise to look at it before mid-january.
