I did, I went as far as installing Postfix on a vanilla system on
different distro (Ubuntu server).
I can confirm even only with those four smptd_tls lines the result
is no different.

Be aware that test site looks at SMTPS port 465, and not STARTTLS
over
port 25.

Make sure that master.cf has any -o options for smtps that you
might
require.

Thanks for pointing that out. Tcpdump does confirm that
networking4all.com tool only probes port 465 on its smtps check.

This is my current master.cf config:

(. . . . .)

smtp      inet  n       -       -       -       -       smtpd
#submission inet n       -       -       -       -       smtpd
#  -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
#  -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
#  -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
#  -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING
smtps     inet  n       -       -       -       -       smtpd
  -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes
  -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
  -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
  -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING

(. . . . )

Anything I should change?

FWIW Outlook is able connect to port 465 using SASL.

Interestingly, networking4all.com smtp server
(smtp.networking4all.com) is also using postfix and it can pass its
own tool.
I wonder what config do they put in main.cf and master.cf

Thank you for your reply, Wietse and Greg.
