I tried hosting a server on my raspberry pi using this
[guide](https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-irc-server/). After trying
to connect to the server from another computer in the same network
using srain I get the "No connection could be made because target
machine actively refused it". I have unlocked ports using UFW and I
can easily connect to a Teamspeak 3 server wich is running on the same
pi (even using computer outside of the local network). Any help would
be appreciated.

Have you tried port scanning it with nmap from another machine?  That
should give you a decent baseline.  Try disabling the firewall and see
if that helps.  If it doesn't, that probably indicates a configuration
issue with your ircd.
