telnet smtp.ntlworld.com 25

Tell us what error message you get. If you don't get an error then try and send an email to yourself by entering

HELO ntlworld.com<CR>
MAIL FROM:youremailaddress@ntlworld.com<CR>
RCPT TO:youremailaddress@ntlworld.com<CR>
DATA<CR>
test<CR>
.<CR>
<CR>
QUIT<CR>

Obviously don't type <CR>, hit return instead, and you can't use backspace so it's best to copy and paste each line so you don't make a mistake. If you get an error after entering one of those lines (an error will be any response which is not a 250) then let us know what it is.
Second that, you should get something, like "Well Hello there" along those lines. However, when sending via Outlook, what error message if any are you getting? I assume you haev checked all your crudentials?
