you are not being forced to use the ntl smtp server. rather, the host smtp server that your are attemting to use is blocking traffic from ntl. As others have pointed out this is to prevent spammers from utilising insecure smtp servers.
if ntl were closing these ports then no one would be able send email on port 25 (smtp) - which would render the srevice pretty useless.
the solution as others have pointed out is to use smtp.ntlworld.com
