They currently support 25 & 587 but do not support TLS on those ports. See the swaks example below:

# swaks -s smtp.att.yahoo.com -p 587 -q HELO -tls
=== Trying smtp.att.yahoo.com:587...
=== Connected to smtp.att.yahoo.com.
<- 220 smtp109.sbc.mail.mud.yahoo.com ESMTP
-> EHLO mail2.milfordmail.com
<- 250-smtp109.sbc.mail.mud.yahoo.com
<- 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN XYMCOOKIE
<- 250-PIPELINING
<- 250 8BITMIME
*** STARTTLS not supported
-> QUIT
<- 221 smtp109.sbc.mail.mud.yahoo.com
=== Connection closed by foreign host.
