Your smtp server, 83.245.63.64 doesn't exist or is denying connections. I can't telnet to it either so I assume it's not the right IP.

Sounds like the SMTP server is still wrong. Can you telnet to the server?

Open up a command prompt and type:
telnet mailserverip 25

What does it say?

Just to note, if I do this with my webhost's SMTP server, it gives me a blank screen once it connects.

Type ehlo and then press Return, and you should get something returned.
