Excellent. Looks like it's just choosing a reactor that doesn't work.
IMO this is not particularly severe: the non-default reactors are only
necessary if you plan to support many thousands of concurrent
connections, which will never be very reliable because Microsoft will
notice what you are doing and ban you.

Nevertheless, it is possible that simply commenting out line 75 of
main.py will fix the problem--could you please try that and get back to
me?

Could you try 'telnet messenger.hotmail.com 1863' to see if you can
connect to MSN directly?

This is annoying but harmless. If only twisted would keep its API
stable... :)
