xp_stopmail then xp_startmail has just fixed my mailout to externals problem too. Thanks for the tip.

After modifying your mail profiles, you may need to issue "xp_stopmail" then "xp_startmail" from QA before the xp_sendmail will work properly.

This fix (xp_stopmail then xp_startmail) also worked for me when I had trouble sending routine mails to an external company following a "mailbox migration" exercise.
