Requirements:External (i.e. weatherproof).One button (dials preprogrammed number).Normal two wire phone (want to connect it to a phone system).No door release or anything famncy needed.One piece (needs to be reasonably vandal proof).Not IP based.Not stupidly expensive.Nearly all the ones I can find are part of an internal/external pair.I just want a basic phone!Any ideas, please?

panasonic do such BUT they require a special card in a PABX...how did you intend connecting it to a phone system?

#1 - Create your own enclosure #2 - IP66 vandal resistant push-button (about =A37-8 anywhere). #3 - Elderly alert push-button auto-dialler #4 - Waterproof microphone (check Ebay first)

Alert push-button dialler - 280314305970 Alarm dialler - 170614778518

You want a 2-way communication facility? I believe there are diallers which offer that, basically they interface to an alarm and allow you to listen in via an internal microphone etc.
