as Database mail uses SMTP the default is port 25, but your exchange admins can change it so you are best speaking to them

If you have configured Outlook client in the PC for that account, you can check Outlook settings.

speak to your exchange admins and ask them to add in the ip address of the server into the mail relay configuration, it needs to go into two places in SMTP relay, think its allow to connect and allow to send
