If you are on windows, as it appears from your post & you can successfully telnet on port 25 to your smtp host than this may be a problem by your Anti virus. Some anti virus like McAfee (version 8 in particular) hook to this port number in order to avoid mass spam mailing by viruses. This is default behavior of all new release of major anti virus packages on windows. Please check settings of your anti virus & firewall (if you have one).

If you have Mcafee than follow as below :

Virus Scan Console --> Access Protection --> Port Blocking Tab-->
Uncheck "Prevent mass Mailing Worms From sending Mail Port 25"

Please check if the parameter SMTP_OUT_SERVER is not set, or check if it is a blank string, or is not the correct SMTP host name and port id.

If that is the case the calls to the UTL_MAIL will fail

Try this out

1. In SQLPlus set the parameter SMTP_OUT_SERVER:

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET SMTP_OUT_SERVER = 'SMTP host name: port id';

2. As SMTP_OUT_SERVER is a static parameter, the database needs to be restarted.

3. Call the UTL_MAIL package:

SQL>exec UTL_MAIL.SEND(sender=>'first.last@hostname.com', recipients=>'first.last@hostname.com', subject=>'Testmail', message => 'Hello');

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

4. Check email inbox for a mail message.
