It's not, you're reading too much into it. It could do with being
reworded a little.
It says to turn on TLS/SSL because you need one or the other.
The two ports available are 465 and 587. They have their "usual" email
meanings.
Hint:
$ openssl s_client -CApath /etc/ssl/certs -crlf \
-connect smtp.gmail.com:587
CONNECTED(00000003)
28135:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:s23_clnt.c:583:
That's what you get when you try to speak SSL/TLS to a server which
isn't speaking it in its current state (ie, is waiting for STARTTLS).
