You said a tcpdump on the external interface shows
traffic going out of the firewall? It sounds like
something else between the SSH client and firewall
might be blocking the return traffic?

All of this assumes that we are talking about problems
establishing the TCP. If the TCP is establishing, then
it could be something at the application layer. If you
run the client,

  $ ssh -v -v -v <externalIP1>

What do you see?
