Uncheck TLS/SSl encryption required and see if that changes anything. That combo works for me on Empathy 2.26.1. In fact, even in the early days of Empathy Gtalk was the one thing that always worked.

I have the same problem. My wife has a domain at google. i.e. mydomain.com. If, using empthay or or pidgen, I enter userid of beth and server as mydomain.com, it does not connect, and gives an error.
I have a gmail acciount i.e. <email address hidden>, if i put that in, it works fine.
Any thoughts
