Hello again,
In absence of progress to have exim apply TLS-on-connect to server port
465 I'm trying non-TLS to port 587 as a simpler first objective. =8~/
Configuration specifications of the server are here.
https://islandhosting.com/knowledgebase/21/How-do-I-configure-my-email-client.html
This is the result of "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config".
$ tail -n 15 /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
# This is a Debian specific file
dc_eximconfig_configtype='smarthost'
dc_other_hostnames=''
dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1'
dc_readhost='easthope.ca'
dc_relay_domains=''
dc_minimaldns='false'
dc_relay_nets=''
dc_smarthost='158.69.159.172::587'
CFILEMODE='644'
dc_use_split_config='false'
dc_hide_mailname='true'
dc_mailname_in_oh='true'
dc_localdelivery='mail_spool'

The consequent eximdebug.txt is here.
http://easthope.ca/eximdebug.txt
I noted this line.
20:33:40 1656 read response data: size=213
The lines following it suggest the server attempts to apply STARTTLS
whereas the instructions on the Web page cited above are "Non-SSL
Settings ... SMTP Port: 587". What is the reality?
What is the crux of failure?
FOOTNOTE
In the transcript, eximdebug.txt, the direction of transmission is
unclear. A common notation is "c:" indicating client transmission and
"s:" indicating server transmission. It would add only 2 or 3
characters per line while removing uncertainty. =8~)
Regards, ... P.
