You need to take a look at your Exchange SMTP logs, it will show why yahoo was rejecting.
Logging the SMTP Service

Or do a telnet session to yahoo's mail server and try to send mail, you will likley get a reject with the reason right away.
from command prompt
nslookup -type=mx yahoo.com
telnet c.mx.mail.yahoo.com 25
helo
mail from:user@mydomain.com
rcpt to:user@yahoo.com

What does your SMTP Logs on the server say?
Any NDR?

It says lost the conenction right after you do telnet c.mx.mail.yahoo.com 25 or after you do the other subsequent commands?
I would also check to see if you are blacklisted anywhere, enter your mail servers public ip.

If you are getting connection lost right after you telnet to yahoo's mx server it could be that their rejecting your IP. I would open a ticket with yahoo.
