I'm assuming you're connecting to your local SMTP server to send out those emails.

The problem is that your Django is trying to use localhost:25 to send out the emails and in your docker there's no SMTP server. Docker has it's own network, and you can see what are the interfaces available by executing 

ifconfig

To solve your issue, you should tell django to use your host SMTP server (and not localhost). Moreover you should tell your local SMTP server to accept emails coming from the docker network.
