Okay, the trick was to append the :port# to the server name (Doh!) but
interestingly this still didn't work at first.  Also, contrary to the
guides at gmail, I had to use SSL (not TSL) with login authentication.
 This still didn't work though until I tried using the server ip
address at which point I got an warning message about an out-of-date
SSL certificate.  I accepted the connection and was able to send the
email.  I then changed back to the server name and now I can still
send emails.  Don't really understand why this worked, but there you
go.
