I would assume that one or a combination of the following (have not specifically tried as I do not block chat) . . .

Use Proxy with the updated black list from Shalla (see this mod - Black List Updater - efwsupport.com/index.php?topic=2147.0) and then set the 'chat' group of domains to block

Use the Intrusion Prevention service and set the chat rules to block

Use the Outgoing Firewall and create a rule with the chat service ip addresses as the destination with the rule set to deny.
