It is but a guess, but I wonder if, even with changing MTUs (to what 
values?) you may still be experiencing a PathMTU+ICMP blackhole problem 
accessing nodes on the Internet.  Can you access something that is a bit 
"closer" but still outside your stack so you have a shot at looking at 
netstat statistics on the sender and/or get packet traces on the sender?
You could still try taking packet traces at the instance or perhaps the 
namespace and try to discern packet losses at the receiving side, though 
it can be a bit more difficult.
