Almost, but not quite.

Remember, SMTP/TLS starts with a cleartext server banner, the client
sending EHLO and then looking for STARTTLS in the extended response,
before initiating TLS.

Instead, you want an ACL on MAIL or RCPT (or DATA, etc) which prohibits
the message unless $tls_cipher is defined.

But otherwise, yes.
