Thanks for the quick answer, philip, but I seem to miss something:
Were -tls-on-connect the one to choose if wanted exim to be the client
connecting to a non-STARTTLS-aware server? If so, how to configure exim
to not imt the STARTTLS completely?

If I wrap exim in xinetd, I would have to let it use a different port,
say 465, which is I want to avoid, because I then have to configure my
email clients.
What I'd like to achive is exim talking TLS without STARTTLS to an SMTP
server somwehre else on port 465.
With highest regards,
