Because it seems possible to ping it from within 85.119.80.0/21, I
think this means it does not have a default route. You can confirm
this by typing:
$ ip route
Do you see a "default via …" line?
If not, do:
$ sudo ip route add default via 85.119.80.1
Does that cause it to work?

This looks okay.

The above should be removed as it is a legacy IP address that won't
work any more. It shouldn't be causing any problems but is best
gone.

It's weird that you have another "auto lo" and "iface lo…" here. Is
it a cut and paste error?

Assuming the above is cut and paste error…

Try simplifying the above to:
iface eth0 inet6 static
address 2001:ba8:1f1:f1e5::2
netmask 64
gateway 2001:ba8:1f1:f1e5::1
So, whole file should be:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 85.119.83.128
netmask 255.255.248.0
gateway 85.119.80.1
iface eth0 inet6 static
address 2001:ba8:1f1:f1e5::2
netmask 64
gateway 2001:ba8:1f1:f1e5::1
Cheers,
Andy
