Yes, that likely should be it.  I even had changed the 550 reply
code for STARTTLS-inside-Implicit-TLS to 554 because of postfix.
(I thought 550 because of "policy reason", but "transaction
failed", whatever.)

Jeremy Harris has also not made his adjustment public, he only
extended the SRV lookup capabilities to be a list of protocols
(likely to be able to easily add _smtps in addition to _smtp, if
i try to make some sense of some email words).  He said he had to
extend a bit more in order to be able to carry the TLS related
state adjustments around.  Well.  This is only partial satisfying
;), but life ain't a wish concert is the saying.
