Check ejabberd.log and sasl.log when ejabberd starts, and also when you try to communicate with other Jabber server. Maybe those files show some useful error message.

Try to disable encryption in the server-to-server connections:

{s2s_use_starttls, false}.

In a machine out of your local network, try to connect to your Jabber server. In your server machine, try to connect to other Jabver servers. In this example I successfully connect to jabber.org:

$ telnet jabber.org 5269
Trying 208.68.163.220...
Connected to jabber.org.
Escape character is '^]'.

aaaaaaaa

<?xml version='1.0'?><stream:stream xmlns:stream='http://etherx.jabber.org/streams' 
xmlns='jabber:server' xmlns:db='jabber:server:dialback' id='4084551914'>
<stream:error><xml-not-well-formed xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-streams'/>
</stream:error></stream:stream>

Connection closed by foreign host.
