Not necessarily, likely the server doesn't like you for some legitimate reason. I'd have to check the logs. If you let me know the IP address you're connecting from, I'll have a quick look, because I'm interested to see, but I haven't got time to check in much depth I'm afraid.
However, it shows that SMTP communication is getting through the firewall anyway, if it wasn't it would just hang.

Hi Oliver,
I get the following results:
Trying 62.73.174.217... Connected to gtwm.co.uk. Escape character is'^]' Connection closed by foreign host
Does this signify that something is wrong with my postfix setup and / or SMTP settings?
