Well, if you have legitimate reason to use so, just ask them to open the
port.
But to me, blocking outgoing connection is a good way to prevent a lot
of attacks, like worms ( where would be slammer if udp was
filtered ? ) , or exploit on weird port. Or even on normal port.
So, there is nothing wrong here. Even if this is really annoying.
