"Connection reset by peer" comes from the operating system (it's the strerror()
string for ECONNRESET). It means the server (in this case chat.facebook.com)
rejected your attempt to connect to it. There isn't really anything
telepathy-gabble can do about that...

The log says

(telepathy-gabble:7232): gabble-DEBUG: _gabble_connection_connect
(connection.c:2205): disabling SRV because "server" or "old-ssl" was specified
or port was not 5222, will connect to chat.facebook.com

It looks as though your account configuration is forcing the "server" parameter
to "chat.facebook.com", which means it won't try a SRV lookup (automatic server
detection). Facebook accounts set up via GNOME Online Accounts don't do that,
which means Gabble would do the equivalent of this:

% host -t SRV _xmpp-client._tcp.chat.facebook.com
_xmpp-client._tcp.chat.facebook.com has SRV record 5 0 5222 chat.facebook.com.

... resulting in the same connection attempt that it's doing for you anyway
(connecting to "chat.facebook.com", TCP port 5222).
