"Outward" implies _away_ from direction of fence loading??? Makes not
much sense what would cause it to move in such a direction. W/ that
kind of stuff around the base, makes me wonder if it hasn't rotted off
at or just below ground level. More force in other direction to
compensate for whatever is causing the current movement is solution if
not. Otherwise, ground has to be soft for some reason to allow the
whole thing to move. What kind of fencing? Something else has to give
for it to be able to move as well.

Hi,
Sounds like to me, the ground is moving? If it leans like that won't it
rip the fence apart? I never used concrete fence post. Tho always
ensured good drainage around it.

Brace it from the outside or guy it from the inside.

The 2.5' of concrete in the ground actually don't help very much.
Think about a large circular disk near the surface. This will provide
bearing surface that will prevent the post from tilting over.
