AFAIK port 465 remains available in nearly all common MUA's, and is the default
if legacy 'SSL' is selected for smtp submission, rahter than 'TLS'.
However, port 465 was reassigned to a Cisco-sponsored service WEF February 2006
- one that has nothing to do with smtp:
urd 465/tcp URL Rendesvous Directory for SSM (Cisco)
igmpv3lite 465/udp IGMP over UDP for SSM
Which leaves 587 is the only 'official' submission port now:
submission 587/tcp Submission
submission 587/udp Submission
# [RFC4409]
