465 is traditionally used for SMTP with automatic SSL on connect (aka
STMPS). To enable that in Exim (post 4.40, I think), you need:

tls_on_connect_ports = 465

That corresponds to the "SSL" setting in Thunderbird. However, it's
considered obsolete; the modern way to do authenticated message
submission is TLS (unauthenticated at connection, turn on authentication
with the SMTP STARTTLS command) on port 587. To do that, add " : 587"
(or " : submission") to daemon_smtp_ports, and edit your ACLs to only
allow authenticated submission on that port, not unauthenticated
local/relay delivery.
