Do you install mosquitto at a linux box?
Is the proccess running? Try ps -A.
Try to use the linux mosquitto client or the windows client to connect the server.
Successful?

Connect the client to mosquitto system messages
Which code do you use at the ESP?

Any progress ???

I installed mosquitto on a 5 dollar Raspberry Pi-Zero and it works like a charm.

Then I set up an ESP8266 with a DS18B20 thermometer and it publishes to the Raspberry broker without problems.

On the Raspberry it is easy to install the mosquitto broker and some clients so you can test right away if the broker works before you access it with an ESP8266.

Most likely you have something configured wrong. And considering you have provided almost no information it is impossible to tell you what your problem is.
