hi guys,
i want to setup the exim on my machine to trasnsfer all outgoing mail to
a smarthost client only - i'd like to try mutt and since it (according
to docs) doesn't do smtp, i need mta.
i dpkg-reconfigured exim4-config and selected the option 'mail sent by
smarthost; no local mail' because it's exactly what i need, i think.
now, i'd like exim4 to use ssl when logging to the smarthost to avoid
sending password in plaintext. i put relevant information to
/etc/exim4/passwd.client.
then i tried to send a message to one of my mail addresses. it was
delivered correctly, however i'm not sure whether it used TLS or not.
the transcript of the 'session' is given below:

i can see the command STARTTLS, but was it really used? also, i recall
that for TLS transactions port 465 should be used, shouldn't it?
if i'm wrong what else i need to supply? many pages mention adding
cert/key files and some tls-related switches to the config but it seems
to be related to the situation when exim4 acts as the smtp server...
(and that's not my situation).
i'd be glad for any hints.
with best regards,
