You can confirm JMeter network connectivity by adding i.e. HTTP Request sampler and opening a website which definitely exists, i.e. http://example.com

If you get the same "Connection refused" message - most probably you are sitting behind the corporate firewall and you will need to apply some extra configuration so JMeter would use your corporate proxy like:

jmeter -H my.proxy.server -P 8000 -u username -a password

See Using JMeter behind a proxy guide for more information.

If you can send requests to Internet web sites and services successfully - double-check your SMTP Sampler configuration, maybe your config is missing an important setting, i.e. Use StartTLS
