Not quite in my case. I have the normal exim daemon listening
for connection on the port 24 (SMTP) and port 587 (MSA). I use
different ACLs for these connections specified by:


# This option specify the Access Control List (ACL) that is used
# for incoming SMTP messages, after the RCPT command.  Note we use
# different ACLs for connections on the smtp and msa/smtps ports.
acl_smtp_rcpt = ${if eq {$interface_port}{25} \
                  {check_recipient_port_smtp}{check_recipient_port_msa}}



Port 465 is the (obsolete) SMTPS protocol. You need a separate
daemon for that as it needs to be fired up with the -tls-on-connect
argument. This is the daemon that's usually fired up out of
inetd.conf. Or in my case controlled using ucspi-tcp-0.88 and
daemontools-0.76.
