Likewise the MacOS-specific advice at:

says:

If the Add Account button is unavailable [i.e. no built-in
provider profile for the email address domain]:

    • Enter the information about your account, including
          the following required fields: User name, Type,
          Incoming server, and Outgoing server. If your email
          service requires Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for either
          the incoming or outgoing server, select the "Use SSL
          to connect" check box for that server.

I would expect the "simplified" interfaces offered by recent consumer
MUAs to infer STARTTLS vs. SSL from 587 vs. 465, or to try both and
see which works. What could help most to resolve this is some logs
of this customer connecting to your server.

P.S. off-topic:

By the way, the OP mentions DANE, and in the DANE survey I
am only able to connect to the primary MX for posix.co.za
and related domains. The secondary appears to always be down.
Is that intentional?
