If there's anything unusual about your environment for SMTP, you'll need to set the parameters appropriately in the SMTP component e.g.

- Standard/default port is port 25. Maybe you use 587 or 1025? Your SendMail probably won't try those ports unless you specify it in advance

- If your SMTP server requires authentication, you need to set up a user name and password

From the error message, you're not even getting to the point where you could try a user name/password so it's likely either a port or firewall issue. Assuming your own personal outgoing SMTP mail is working properly (so no firewall issue) an incorrect port setting would be my first guess.
