This is not what I see:

Connecting to id.synatech.com.au [216.74.75.151]:25 ... connected
SMTP<< 220 java.z1 Borg SMTP 1.0 - you will be assimilated
SMTP>> EHLO pulse.fsckit.net

  SMTP<< 250-HELP
         250-STARTTLS
         250-AUTH=LOGIN
         250 AUTH LOGIN

SMTP>> STARTTLS

SMTP<< 220 Ready to start TLS
SMTP>> EHLO pulse.fsckit.net

SMTP<< 220 java.z1 Borg SMTP 1.0 - you will be assimilated
SMTP>> MAIL FROM:<twells@???>

  SMTP<< 250-HELP
         250-AUTH=LOGIN
         250 AUTH LOGIN

SMTP>> RCPT TO:<7j36hwgb@???>

SMTP<< 250 OK
SMTP>> DATA

SMTP<< 250 OK
SMTP>> QUIT

LOG: MAIN
== 7j36hwgb@??? R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp defer (0): SMTP
error from remote mailer after DATA: host id.synatech.com.au
[216.74.75.151]: 250 OK

The 250 response after DATA is wrong.

Also as an aside you really ought to advertise ESMTP in your banner if you
want sites to use ESMTP commands like STARTTLS
