That is what I get to.

For reasons I don't understand your instance of sendmail is *not*
talking to the MX for lists.oetiker.ch. For some reason it is
talking to localhost.
I've snipped a few of your log lines to make the relevant ones more
obvious:

So that 550 isn't coming from lists.oetiker.ch, but is coming from
your own host. Can you mail to any non-local address the way you
tried to mail to that list address? My guess is not.
