As written this is true, but misleading.
The config above will work, however it will cause exim to expect
standard SMTP on both ports, whereas 465 as the ssmtp port would
normally have SMTP over SSL (initial connection made as SSL not clear).
For exim to handle ssmtp it must be started with -tls-on-connect on the
command line and only handle SSL connections. This is why 2 daemons are
used for sites which wish ssmtp as an option.
