Disabling SOCKSPort on a relay is a good idea.
You're not really anonymous if you use your relay as a client - its IP address is public, and so is its uptime/downtime.
And there are statistical ways of matching relay and client traffic hiccups.

Likely your tor process is running as a non-root user (this is good) without the CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE capability, or your OS equivalent.
And 9001 is a fine port, there's no need to change it to 443.

Your network connections are timing out on a regular basis.
This isn't great for a relay, it means that clients using your relay will be slowed down.
This could be your ISP having poor connectivity, or actively closing long-lived connections.
Or perhaps other traffic on your connection competes with the Tor traffic, and causes it to time out?
