465 is, IIRC, the "ssmtp" port, where the client starts up a TLS session
without sending STARTTLS first. Exim doesn't have any special knowledge
about port numbers. You need to set -tls-on-connect to get it to behave
this way. However, that is an all-or-nothing switch. You cannot set it
for some ports and not others. Therefore, if you want to support both
kinds of connection, you need to run two differently configured daemons.
