IIRC, Outlook Express will not do STARTTLS on 587, which is what I meant
by the buggy TLS implementation. So set the client to do SSL
(tls-on-connect) on 465.

If you've already got the server configured for 587, then you've
probably got a line like:

daemon_smtp_ports = 25 : 587

in your /etc/exim4/exim4.conf file. Find it, and add 465 to the
(colon-separated) list:

daemon_smtp_ports = 25 : 587 : 465

and add immediately below that line:
tls_on_connect_ports = 465
