I might be wrong, but it seems to me that tls_on_connect_ports' purpose
is "legacy" SMTPS, with SSL first, then SMTP inside the SSL tunnel (just
like HTTPS). So you should talk SSL to the 465 port configured this way,
not SMTP. Use eg. openssl instead of telnet.

You probably wanted to use STARTTLS instead, which is TLS (aka "SSL")
inside an SMTP negociation, instead of the reverse. In this case, you
don't need tls_on_connect_ports.
