465 is NOT expected to be 'TLS', but rather 'legacy' SSL, AKA 'tls_on_connect'.

IOW - no en clair HELO/EHLO, and no fallback to en clair communication.
And MUA default to that if told to use 465 and/or SSL

So - on that specific point, are you really seeing a build problem affecting 465?

....or just a misconception w/r how to configure the MTA and the MUA client?


Port 465 was never offically an smtp service port. It WAS, however, *officially*
assigned by IETF/IANA to a Cisco-proprietary service that has NOTHING to do with
smtp.

And several years ago. Have a look at /etc/services.

Best to use 587 and cease using 465.

History aside, no MUA even half-way modern needs 465 any longer.
