SMTPConnection only calls the connect() callback once the handshake
succeeds; a refused or timed out connection is emitted as an 'error'
event, which was only logged. relay() then never settled, so its finally
block (which now releases the email stream) never ran, auto-relay held
the incoming SMTP transaction open without a reply, and the REST relay
request hung. Reject the connect promise from the 'error' handler.
