I have exactly the same problem, since Friday night I have not been able to send e-mails through Outlook to the Yahoo.co.uk server. Also would appreciate an answer.

Same problem here.
I fixed it as follows:
Change the outgoing server port to 587
Turn SSL authentification Off , i.e deselect it.
Took me ages to figure this out. Wierd but it works for me with outlook.
