172.26.*.* is private, not public, IP address space.  If that's the TCP
source address being sent to the remote hosts, it's not surprising
you're not getting an answer.  If I'm reading your article right, the
public IP address 34.197.192.71.

If you can't solve the problem directly, you may need to relay outbound
mail via some AWS mail forwarder, if they have them.

Try "netstat -an4" on 69.164.210.174 to verify that the mail server is
indeed listening on port 25.  Also, if that host is behind a NAT
firewall, you may also need to configure the firewall to enable port
forwarding for port 25.
