It's probably the NAT on your firewall giving you source ports below
123, which older ntpd versions reject as bogus:

https://bugs.ntp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2174

ntpdate -q works because it uses a random source port. chronyd
in recent versions does that too by default. Here is what I see with
when I fix the source port and query one of the servers from your
report:

# /usr/sbin/chronyd -Q 'acquisitionport 122' 'server ntp1.telenet-ops.be iburst'
2015-06-02T07:41:37Z chronyd version 2.0 starting (+CMDMON +NTP +REFCLOCK +RTC +PRIVDROP +DEBUG +ASYNCDNS +IPV6 +SECHASH)
2015-06-02T07:41:37Z Initial frequency -22.698 ppm
2015-06-02T07:41:47Z No suitable source for synchronisation
