Our boiler flue slopes downwards, so most of the condensate runs out

My sister's new boiler flue was like this. It's a cock-up. You should get
whoever fitted it back to do it properly (if possible).

Before condensing boilers, wasn't that the right way to do it?

Generally yup.

Many condensors have the internal flue pipe set in the outer sleeve at
an upward pointing angle - so that even if the flue is bored through the
wall horizontally there is still an internal slope. Alas that will only
correct for a certain amount of downward angle in the hole.
