4. to do all this using virgin media as isp

I've just tried it on Outlook 2007 with all the various so called alternative port settings for SMTP - that is using my NTLWORLD account from the O2 ISP. It doesn't work. That deals with your point #1.
You didn't mention this as a problem. Is it?
Point #3: Just use Outlook not OE. Don't worry about VM not trained on OE - their advice isn't worth as much as what you get on this forum.
Point #4: Doesn't apply to your iPhone! I learned a long time ago not to use NTLWORLD or affiliate as my main e-mail addy. On my O2 mobile, I use Webmail which requires no port numbers or anything like that.
