I don't know. I had used Phex for a long time with socks but not with the internal socks client. (For now I've tested it and couldn't get it working also, maybe it's broken, maybe it's my fault.)
You can also try external socks clients (for windows it's the humminbird socks client I've used). MacOS is internally Unix so maybe the (properly configured) socksify command works.
Yes, some univerities are blocking P2P ports. You can use Phex with other ports (but most users are using the default ports), maybe you try a filter rule for ports 6346/47. But if they are blocking P2P they have their reasons and you should respect it (and you already have a working home account).
