Weird. It doesn't do this when I telnet to it locally:
$ telnet blaakmeer smtp
Trying 130.89.222.95...
Connected to blaakmeer.student.utwente.nl.
Escape character is '^]'.

I am sorry, but this doesn't help.
This is what I had (and have again) in the config file:
visible_name=blaakmeer.student.utwente.nl
-domains
hostnames=blaakmeer.student.utwente.nl:blaakmeer:cal011205.student.utwente.nl:cal011205:remco:remcob:localhost
(remco and remcob are aliases used only by a few friends that put them in
their /etc/hosts file)
Is this 'bad' or 'wrong' in any way?

Yes, I know. This could mean that the problem lies on the receiving end.
I'll try to send mail between hosts running Debian smail tomorrow.
