I'm confused. This line doesn't do anything with TLS advertisement.
You can modify it into

    auth_advertise_hosts = ${if and{ \
                                    =={$received_port}{587} \
                                    def:tls_in_cipher \
                                } \
                            {*}}


(untested)

Currently I do not see, why this should disable TLS connections.

I use in the authenticator block(s)

    server_advertise_condition = ${if and{ \
                                    =={$received_port}{587}} \
                                    def:tls_in_cipher \
                                  }}


(untested, can't access the the reference system just now)
