That would block all mail.

Yes.

You want something like this (untested):

acl_signedin_or25_check:
accept condition = ${if ={25}{$interface_port}}

  require  authenticated = *
           condition = ${if def:tls_cipher}
       message = Must be authenticated over TLS


accept


and then inside acl_check_rcpt you would have:

require acl = acl_signedin_or25_check


Make sense?
