I've used your temperature settings and things look a little better, but still have problems, specially in small, vertical holes. What happens is that the internal perimeter of the holes gets progressively worse, first a gap starts to appear between the external perimeter (that is the one on the inside of the hole) and after several layers all hell breaks loose, the extruded plastic doesn't stick to the previous layer and is dragged into the center of the hole. The end result is a hole with bad walls filled with a tangle of filament.
I think I need to slow down the extruder for small holes like that (3mm diameter or less), but the option to slow down the speed for small perimeters in Slic3r doesn't seem to work, I set it at 25% of normal perimeter speed but it still moves very fast when making the hole perimeters. I will try with different acceleration and/or jerk settings to see if that helps.
I will also try Cura to see what results I get with it.

I cleaned up the nozzle, changed the extruder temperature to 210 degrees and that seems to have done the trick; it's printing much better now, although not as good quality as I get with PLA.
Extruder not feeding during print,...
