fetchmail is configured by default to use smtp to receive mail.
Check /etc/inetd.conf. It should have something like the following.
#:MAIL: Mail, news and uucp services.
smtp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.smtpd
fetchmail is trying to use in.smtpd and the connection is being refused.
