Those are definitely the correct settings. Have you tried sending to different ohones, or just the 1?
 
I have just tried turning off the wi-fi while sending a pic message and guess what it worked. Hopefully that solves the problem.
But why do you have to turn off wi fi to send a pic message over a text message.
 
I realised after reading this that I hadn't yet tried to send a pic message. Just tried (am on o2 also and same settings) and it worked, with WiFi on.

First one took about 15 mins to tell my mate it failed (cos his phone didn't like it - Sony-E k800i)
Sent a couple more though, one to a Desire, one to an iPhone (3GS) and both went through very quickly.
 
o2 have had some data issues lately, my area was affected AGAIN yesterday. maybe your having similar problems?
