 |- on a port (25) that is not mentioned in the request or response.

Ok i change it so default IANA port 25 means STARTTLS, any other
Implicit TLS.
I myself did indeed not mean SRV OR MX OR A/AAAA but instead MX
aka target domain name known THEN peek SRV (same domain name) for
TLS support (and port) THEN A/AAAA.  But it seems that ship sailed
many years ago.  Hm.
