"It is not necessary to set any options to have TLS work in the smtp
transport. If Exim is built with TLS support, and TLS is advertised by a
server, the smtp transport always tries to start a TLS session. However,
this can be prevented by setting hosts_avoid_tls (an option of the
transport) to a list of server hosts for which TLS should not be used."
# turn off TLS on SMTP sending
hosts_avoid_tls = *
# turn off TLS on SMTP sending for hostgator.com
hosts_avoid_tls = 67.18.54.2
The usual hostlist rules apply.
