Your mail server cannot connect to the SMTP server at
another.external.machine.

See if you can do it manually:
$ telnet another.external.machine smtp

If you get "connection refused" then either there's a firewall rule at
either your end or at another.external.machine preventing this
connection, or there is no mail server running at
another.external.machine.

If a connection is opened and the server displays its greeting banner,
you can enter "QUIT" to terminate the session. Then try "sendmail
-qRexternal.machine" to try to poke sendmail into delivering the queued
mail.

If that doesn't work and you believe SELInux to be the issue, look near
the end of /var/log/audit/audit.log if it exists or /var/log/messages
otherwise for any audit messages that may provide clues.
