When connecting to SMPT, it gives an error - Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out. Why?

As a test, I tried to connect to my mail server via telnet, but I get the following error:
telnet Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
What do I need to change on the mail server so that I can connect via smtp?
I am using the plesk panel.
Below is the postfix config:

# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version
# Debian specific:  Specifying a file name will cause the first
# line of that file to be used as the name.  The Debian default
# is /etc/mailname.
#myorigin = /etc/mailname

smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)
biff = no

# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no

# Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
#delay_warning_time = 4h

Connection timed out

It says that it didn’t reach L7, the problem is at the L4 level, i.e. ports are closed. Either the incoming tcp/25 port, or from the machine from which the telnet is being tried, outgoing requests to the tcp/25 port are closed.
