thet depends how they are configured. if you're using NAT to capture
any attempts to connect to port 25 from that subnet then yes, they may.

Probably it will error and then accept the email anyway.
It may be possible to abuse the plaintext auth driver to make fake
authenticators that do no checks and always return success. I have
not looked at how it functions
the notmal login and plain authenticators can have the condition set to
to something that always succeeds

they will have to accept the sertificate but other than that it will
be the same as no-tls.
