I'm confused, too.  Your log clearly says you can't connect, yet telnet(1)
can.  

The highly technical solution would be to use tcpdump(8) to see if in fact
any packets are sent to that port, and what the responses are, if any.  A
less technical one would be to ask a Debian list why one application would
be able to connect and another can't.  

But the best way, really, is to walk through tds_open_socket with a
debugger and find out where it's really failing.  Something odd is going
on, and it's hard to guess via email.  

HTH.
