It does not mention SSL anywhere. It does mention tunnelling, but such
tunnelling would not be visible at the level Exim is operating - think
of port forwarding with ssh or stunnel. Tunnelling protocols have their
own port allocations or protocol numbers, so it would be weird to run them
over port 587.

TLS-on-connect on port 587 is NOT supported by IETF specifications.
