I am kind of jumping in late here but I have had a similar problem before.
Try this, Move your messages from the outbox to a different folder or create
a new folder to put them in. Next compose a new email. It is probably best to
address it to yourself and try to send it. Some times having a rejected
message of any sort in the outbox can screw up kmail. This ahs worked for me
a couple of times. YMMV
