Note that it is says "timed out", which means it did connect.
Uh, wat? Who are you, and what did you do to Jeroen...?
*Connection* timed out is exactly this - it did not connect.
At the moment and in my usage in last years though it has just worked over IPv6.
From here (5539) and right now, sbb.ch port 443 is not reachable over IPv6...

(using telnet as a lowest-level connection setup tool - there can not be anything MTU related here, before the first actual data packets flow, and telnet will signal that phase with "Connected to...")
