Thunderbird is a mail CLIENT. It knows nothing about what encryption your mail TRANSPORT is doing out on the 'net, but that's what you are showing us the config of. It's probably referring to your IMAP connection to your dovecot server. That's all it really knows about. Make sure you are talking SSL/TLS to dovecot, make sure dovecot is configured for that, and that you have PF letting the right port though. It MIGHT Be talking about outgoing mail...but a quick look at Thunderbird here shows that it defaults to port 465 for encrypted, and you are talking about 587. Nick.
