Something is clearly not happy in your configuration. You appear to not be able to login even without SSL, so I suggest you focus on getting that to work first.
I don't know if you have installed any scripts or not, but if so go extract a new copy of plain ioFTPD on the default port and see if that works. Then depending on what happens check the /logs directory to see what errors are reported.
The first thing that struck me is port 21 is the well known FTP port and it's possible that some sort of proxy / firewall is trying to help out here locally. Sort of like some anti-spyware stuff watches outgoing connections to port 80/8080/etc so it can filter incoming content... It's more likely though that your router might treat FTP special and there is checkbox you need to enable in a services to forward tab or something. I've seen that before. That's the most obvious reason for why it sort of works locally but won't remotely.
