call_timeout is only used if you are bridging 2 channels where one or both
of them is still unanswered.

what you want to use is originate_timeout and forget about call_timeout

you also have
leg_timeout and leg_progress_timeout both to be set in the {}
that do the timeout from the perspective of the new channel leg instead of
the caller leg.
