daemon_smtp_ports defines the *default* ports that are used for
interfaces defined by local_interfaces that do not specify their own
port. If your suggestion is adopted, then there will also be pressure to
modify local_interfaces to make it possible to specify tls-on-connect
for ports that are defined there.
That is why I prefer
tls_on_connect = x : y
because it would apply both to daemon_smtp_ports and to
local_interfaces. And it would also apply to inetd connections.
