Most likely, it complains because Hobbit fires off SMTP commands before
waiting for the SMTP server's greeting. Technically, this is in
violation of the SMTP protocol, and some newer servers complain about
this.

Try removing the "send" part from the [smtp] section in
~hobbit/server/etc/bb-services
