That feels like a firewall config problem - are there any input filters
on the WAN interface that are preventing 443 from ever being accepted
from an external address? That would give the behaviour you describe.
As for the ISP filtering 443, that would be very unusual. Can you test
by putting another computer on the outside of the firewall with an
appropriate address?

It's 443. HTTP and HTTPS are well-behaved protocols, unlike nasty stuff
like FTP in active mode.
