I really doubt so. It could be a problem with your SMTP server, but
dovecot is only used for reading messages, not for sending.

Check your mail server logs. But first see what Outlook tells you: there
might be a clue.

This often happens when an invalid e-mail address is passed, which
causes rejection of the message and it stays in the outbox (and then
gets reject again, and so on). Are all the recipients valid e-mail
addresses?
