That'll cover clear and ssl client connections to the server, but will
not allow other servers to connect to your server, for that you'll need
5269.

Have you tried launching the server from the init script (after
configuring your desired hostname in /etc/jabber/jabber.cfg) and using a
normal client to register a user?
