This has nothing to do with your smtp port

They scanned for open proxies and tried if your apache would allow to proxy.
The trick is that even smtp connections can be proxied over a web proxy.

Just make sure this is not possible with your apache
so check error_log for confirmation this failed.

If not. get that apache off-line and remove proxy on directive asap!
