Yes, the IIS return such an error (not IE) when it cannot connect to a
smtp-gateway.

That is wrong
the next line should be
smtp_port = 25
At least that is in every single php.ini file I ever saw. :-)

Huh?
port 80 is NOT for smtp.
port 80 is typically used for http.
use 25 for smtp.
And also: Are you sure you are running software on your localhost that
accepts smtp-commands?
If you are unsure, make the smtp-gateway something that you know to work,
like your own ISP-smtp-gateway.
