Upgrade to 1.5DR2 causes SMTP to fail

Did the default upgrade from most recent release version 1.3.x (avaialble on your site) to 1.5 DR2. This is a bog standard installation of Confluence out of the box.

SMTP was working and now I get the following message:
An error has occurred with sending the test email:
javax.mail.SendFailedException: Sending failed;
nested exception is:
javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: mail.nisgroup.com, port: 25;
nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect
