For outgoing mail to generic (not specific domains with which you have
special security arrangements) Internet recipients:

    main.cf:
        smtp_tls_security_level = may

For incoming mail from generic Internet senders:

    main.cf:
        smtpd_tls_security_level = may

you'll need a self-signed RSA certificate, or in some cases, one signed
by a widely trusted CA, but only if some senders will be checking your
certificates (normally, with SMTP, no certificate checks take place).

For port 587 submission:

    master.cf
        submission inet ... smtpd
            -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
            ...
