Port 587 is the official alternate port for *authenticated* smtp. Sites
that permit Internet access ought to have this port open. Sites that
provide email ought to provide authenticated SMTP (only) on this port.
Email clients ought to use port 587 by default (the iPhone does, for
example).
There are some tips on configuring Exim for MSA here:

If you *really* need to provide port 80, then you can use the same tips.
However, I'd hate to see this catch on. Please deploy port 587 first, and
ask your users to try port 587.
