Most likely problem is that you setup TMDA to send outbound mail to your
ISP's inbound mail servers, not their outbound mail servers.

Check the settings of these variables in /etc/tmdarc:

MAIL_TRANSPORT
SMTPHOST

You could either set these to:

smtp
whatever_your_isp_tells_you_to_put_into_your_email_client

or:

smtp
127.0.0.1

The latter, if you're running your own mail server that will relay all
mail for you. If you already are setup like this, then check your MTA's
configuration - it's either not setup to allow relaying from your
internal IPs, or is configured for an incorrect smart/relay-host setting.
