For the last couple of weeks, I have been getting timeout messages when I try to send an email. Have turned off Norton outgoing scanning. Any ideas?

Try to start Windows 11 in safe mode with networking enabled.

Does the problem go away?

Windows safe mode disables anti-virus software. This is a troubleshooting step, not a solution.

Note, Windows safe also disables WiFi. So you'd need a wired LAN connection for Windows safe mode.
