In fact it's designed to break ESMTP - because they need to prevent the negotiation of TLS which would break the devices ability to fiddle with the protocol. PIX (or ASA) Smtp fixup appears to provide no security enhancements over sane configuration and adds all the Cisco bugs to the mix. It really needs to be removed from a production network.
