I've never used Mantis before but I can make some comments though :-)

Did you already follow the steps detailed here? They are for Gmail but 
the basics should also valid for other email servers. 

Please read this if you have problems with emails
http://www.mantisbt.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15398

Anyway, just for testing the mailing facility of Mantis, you can use your 
own Gmail account and follows the same steps presented there.

Hum... some things:

- The file you are editing ("config_defaults_inc.php") is different than 
the one of the forums guide ("config_inc.php"). Is that right?

- Using TLS on port 25 can be right but it can also make things more 
difficult to debug because you rely on the client side to do the right 
things. To discard a problem with authentication or an error on the 
server/client I would first try to configure a Gmail account as 
instructed at the guide.
