I assume that you have to dial a number (i.e. 0 or 9) to be able
to call external numbers.

In this case hylafax has to reset your modem with ATX3. Include
the following line in your hylafax-modem-config file:

ModemResetCmds:         ATX3

This tells your modem not to wait for a dialtone. It should even work 
if you don't have to dial a number to be able to call external numbers.
