Without seeing your dialplan it is a little hard to determine why but 
I'll try based on your iax.conf entries below.

When the call is sent out it is going to authenticate using the username 
"username".

This is incorrect, username is not valid in a user entry. The username 
is specified between the [ and ]. In this case it is guest. Therefore no 
user entry exists with the username "username" and the other box can't 
authenticate.

Here is a basic entry for a peer:

[trunk-out]
type=peer
host=my.silly.box
username=myserver
secret=password
disallow=all
allow=ulaw

The call will be sent to my.silly.box and will try to authenticate as 
myserver with the password password.

Here is a basic entry for a user:

[myserver]
type=user
secret=password
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
context=servers

Here is the respective dial line:
IAX2/trunk-out/${EXTEN}
