Not sure why they would be advertising TLS to the outside world without
some sort of auth first, but its probably a good idea for you to set:

     hosts_avoid_tls = *


on your remote SMTP transport. This will ensure that TLS isn't ever
used on remote outbound deliveries, which can be somewhat resource
intensive.
