You do not need the alternate port, you can just do with STARTTLS.
Doing so exim does not require special startup options.
Having said so, what Matt said will probably work, but I haven't
tested it personally.

Also, Eudora on Windows require you to right-click on the personality
to accept the certificate. On the Mac it will automatically display a
dialog and add the certificate to the Keychain if accepted. From this
follows that on the Mac you could import the root certificate in the
Keychain and Eudora will not display the dialog for any certificates
signed with that root.

stunnel? Doesn't that mean that you need to point your smtp to
127.0.0.1? I used to do that before SSL/SMTP auth. Very kludgy, in
particular on MacOS9, where you needed to open your ssh tunnel
manually.
It also require to allow relaying from 127.0.0.1, that I personally
do not like.
But this is a matter of taste...
