Grr. You seem to have misparsed what I said.
1. If an MTA advertises starttls, exim sends to it over TLS by default
2. If the other MTA has a broken implementation (bad certificates etc) then
Exim will freeze the message locally ... in which case you specifically tell
Exim _not_ to use starttls for that particular host.
