Well there had been lots of stories about how bad godaddy hosting is so if your facing some issues it wont be news to many.

But its better to contact their support and ask if they are using different port for smtp/pop3 or even running one at all.

To Set Your SMTP Relay Options
1. Log in to your Account Manager.

3. Locate the account you want to set up and click Setup Account.
4. From the Relays per Day list, select the number of relays per day you want to use for the account.
5. Specify whether you want to use the same user name and password for SMTP Relay that you use to access your account (recommended), or specify that you want to use a different user name and password and type them in the User Name, Password, and Confirm Password fields.
6. Click Save Settings.
