A few questions to get more information.

Do these domains have a transitive trust, Separate AD not a child?
Do these domains reside on the same AD, same forest child domain?
Did you check the HUB transport to make sure the proper ports and Rules are setup?
If this started when the firewall was replaced did you check to see if the SMTP and port forwarding rules were copied from the old one to ensure proper traffic flow.
