Well, you're expecting a mailserver to behave like a end-user mailclient,
and while there is a some overlap there, they aren't the same thing.
Look at the exim FAQ and the stunnel site - you'll want to do
something like:
. setup stunnel to listen on a local IP:465, with the
remote end of the tunnel being your smarthost at the
ISP, or whatever destination needs ssl on port 465
. tell exim to smarthost/manual route that dest domain
to that local IP/port
The exim FAQ has pointers on how to setup manual route to a
specific destination (though it looks like smarthosting is
what you're looking for), as well as how to use a different dest
port # (other than 25). The stunnel site has copious usage
examples.
