A message posted via telnet is sent from the server and arrives to
destination; and the server is able to receive messages from the
net. But the mail client (Thunderbird) cannot access the mail
server, thus giving error.

Giving _what_ error, precisely?

I translate from the French:
Maximum allowed time passed
Connection error, server not available, connection refused (smtp)

Which log file can I check, to have more details?

Certainly look at /var/log/maillog, or whatever file is returned by

awk '/^mail\./ {print $2}' /etc/syslog.conf
.
