I think you've conclusively proven that it's not your Exchange server
that the problem.

Since you say this happens for ALL your outbound email I'd have a look
at your firewall.

My apologies, I should have more clearly stated that the issue is only with
one particular external domain - not ALL external domains. Any thoughts?

Sure. Contact the admin of that domain and ask him why you're
receiving that status. As I said, its not your server that's the
problem -- it may be you don't have a PTR record for your IP addrss,
or it may be that your IP address is in some DNSRBL, or you may be
block by some other policy they have.
