I've found I can't use this method with Outlook clients - if I don't
advertise all the time, Outlook will never attempt to authenticate even
after it has started an encrypted session. My end solution was to allow
users to authenticate without encryption but reject all authenticated,
non-encrypted attempts in acl_smtp_mail.
