Default How to change the SMTP port in Outlook for Bellsouth DSL?

Since switching to Bellsouth DSL, I can receive emails, but cannot send
emails. I called my ISP and they said I need to change the SMTP port. So, I
go into Outlook to change the port from 25 to 587. This worked in one
account, but not the main account.

The problem I have is when I change the SMTP port and hit okay, I get an
Outlook error stating "The account name is already being used. Please choose
another name." and does not allow me to change it.

Does anyone know a fix or workaround for this? I really do not want to
delete the account and recreate it. Thank you for your assistance!!!
