Same failure after the fix:

tony@debian:~$ fetchmail
1 message for arodriguez at postoffice.worldnet.att.net (2557 octets).
reading message 1 of 1 (2557 octets) .fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from postoffice.worldnet.att.net
fetchmail: Query status=10 (SMTP)
tony@debian:~$

Thanks Carel for all your help. I hope you don't get bored or tired of this before we fix this completely.
