Are you on a consumer Internet connection?  Hotmail has been blocking IP
address that are on the DUL (dial-up list, but which now includes home
DSL and cable and presumably ISDN addresses) for aaaages.  Your only
options are to get your IP removed from this list (talk to your ISP) or
relay through your ISP's mail server (or another one that is not
listed).  Both options suck, but at least the relay option only takes
adding one line to your postfix/main.cf (hint: relayhost).
