I'm wondering if there's a mismatch in agreement between the client and the server as to when encryption starts. Port 465 should be encrypted straightaway, whereas others like 25 and 785 are not, so you can use starttls on them. Perhaps try the same method, just changing the port? What about the logs? Alpine allegedly writes .pine-debug files as pine used to (20 years ago in my case) which should show the conversation.
