If port 6697 is the SSL port, you need [Check] The Use SSL in the Advanced Tab.
This is a failed attempt due to not [Check]'ing the Use SSL.
Lost connection with server: Remote host closed connection.
Further Debugging/Troubleshooting can be done by opening the debug window: Help -> Debug Window

Channels
By default, when you close pidgin, it parts all the channels before disconnecting, which defeats the whole purpose of using a bouncer. It's because pidgin sucks as IRC client, and you should switch to some better client.
As a workaround, you can try stickychan, or add all channels to "favorites" in pidgin.
