Yes, your MTAs seem to have a problem writing to mail.server.co.uk,
which is why the connection gets a timeout after some time.

Which is astonishing, as there is no SMTP server listening on that host,
so there should be a temporary error - but not the one you are getting.

Well, maybe they had a problem with mail.server.co.uk and are fixing the
problem at the moment.

Cheers,

Ralph
