I would check to see that the Bot works using Telegram itself, and then you know whether it is the Bot or the Telegram Node.
You have of course set the Token and the ChatIDs for the Telegram Node? The ChatIDs will route any message securely. The Telegram Sender Node HELP page explains things well in the RH Sidebar (select the Book Icon).
